Electrical Technician

 

Your Impact

As an Electrical Technician at our Papakura Brewery, you’ll play a key role in keeping our manufacturing plant running safely and reliably. You’ll apply your existing electrical trade experience in a hands-on environment, supporting preventative and breakdown maintenance while continuing to build depth across automation, control systems, and reliability practices.

This role is suited to an experienced electrician who is motivated to keep developing their skills and contribute to continuous improvement within a high-performing manufacturing site.

Please note: This position works on a rotating 12-hour shift roster with 24/5 coverage (approx. 45 - 60 hours per week).

About You

You’re a trade-qualified electrician who enjoys being hands-on, solving problems, and continuously building your skills. You’re motivated by learning, open to new technology and ways of working, and keen to grow your capability.

You’ll bring:

• Experience in industrial or manufacturing environments, FMCG highly regarded
• Strong fault-finding capability across production and process equipment
• Practical exposure to PLCs and SCADA systems (fault-finding and support rather than programming)
