Welder Fabricator / Assembly / Service Engineer
We’re hiring across the floor at SAM Machinery — and we’re after the real deal.
We need experienced, capable people to join our team in Assembly, Service, or Fabrication. These full-time roles are based at our Hamilton workshop, building and maintaining tough, smart farm gear that’s trusted all over New Zealand.
Before we go further, here’s what we’re not looking for:If you’re just starting out, this isn’t the place. We’ve got a full order book and we need people who can hit the ground running.
If you’re looking for a short-term gig or somewhere to “see how it goes,” probably best to keep scrolling — our average team member has been here 9+ years. We back our people, and we expect the same in return.
Roles Available: Assembly Technicians – get hands-on with machine builds, final fit-outs, and pre-delivery checks
Service Technicians – join a small, skilled team restoring older SAM machines to near-new condition; you’ll need good diagnostic skills and a practical head
Welder/Fabricators – MIG welding and fabrication of our heavy-duty gear. Clean welds, good gear, plenty of variety
What We’re Looking For: Solid trade or mechanical background
Reliable, detail-focused, and independent
You know your way around a spanner and don’t need hand-holding
Bonus points for welding, hydraulics, electrical, or forklift experience
Why SAM?We’re proudly NZ-made, family-owned, and still growing after 80+ years in the game. We design out the fluff and build gear that works — and our team reflects the same DNA: strong, simple, smart, and full of heart. If that sounds like your kind of place, let’s talk
