Assembly Team Member | Hands-On Role | Timaru | Forklift Required

This is not a standard assembly role. This is for someone who takes pride in their work, notices the details others miss, and enjoys producing work to a consistently high standard. There is repetition, so you have to be ok with that.

If you have come from a mechanical or workshop environment and enjoy hands-on, structured work, this is an opportunity to join a stable and growing manufacturing business where your work is visible and valued.

The Opportunity

We are recruiting an Assembly Team Member to join a well-established and growing manufacturing business in Timaru. This is a hands-on role within a skilled production team, focused on assembling and finishing products to a high standard prior to dispatch.

  • Completing assembly, fit-up, finishing, and final presentation work
  • Reading and working from drawings, job instructions, and specifications
  • Using a range of tools including hand tools, rattle guns, air tools, and lifting equipment
  • Supporting product flow through fabrication, finishing, and assembly stages
  • Identifying and raising any issues that may impact workflow or product quality
  • Operating forklifts and assisting with movement of materials and components
What Makes This Role a Good Opportunity
  • Join a growing SME where your contribution is recognised
  • Be part of a steady, experienced production team
  • Opportunity to build capability and grow within the business over time
  • Exposure to broader responsibilities as you develop
  • Monday to Friday, 7:00am - 5:00pm, approx 50 hours per week
You will bring
  • Experience in assembly, manufacturing, or similar hands-on work Strong mechanical aptitude and practical skills
  • Good attention to detail and pride in your work
  • A reliable, team-focused attitude, wanting to learn and grow
  • Ability to follow processes and work to a consistent standard
  • Experience in quality control or inspection would be an advantage but is not essential.
Mandatory Requirements
  • Current forklift license with practical operating experience
  • Physically fit and able to work on your feet and lift throughout the day
  • Willingness to undergo pre-employment medical, ACC, criminal, and drug and alcohol checks
