This role is hands‑on and technical. You’ll install, maintain and repair network equipment, diagnose faults and carry out rectification works in line with industry standards, regulations and approved work practices. You’ll assess risks on every job, apply effective controls and ensure work is completed safely, efficiently and to specification. You’ll work both independently and as part of a wider crew, engaging with supervisors, clients, suppliers and other trades. Safety is non‑negotiable in this role — you’ll actively contribute to Zero Harm outcomes and help maintain a safe, compliant and professional work environment. If you’re a skilled Line Mechanic who takes pride in precision work, thrives under pressure and wants to be trusted with critical public infrastructure, this role delivers real responsibility and challenge. The successful candidate will hold a current Line Mechanic registration and practising licence, possess an NZQA Level 4 qualification, and demonstrate strong knowledge of SMEI and low‑voltage safe work practices. Proven experience installing, maintaining and fault‑finding network assets, the ability to work independently under pressure, clear written and verbal communication (including WMS and JSEAs), and a full Class 1 driver’s licence are required.
