Our Central Maintenance Group is seeking a highly skilled Registered Electrician to support critical maintenance across our large-scale industrial operations at Glenbrook and Waikato North Head.

This is a hands-on role best suited to an experienced tradesperson who is confident working in complex industrial environments and is comfortable taking ownership of electrical maintenance outcomes across heavy processing plant equipment.

What you will be doing

You will play a key role in maintaining the reliability and availability of plant and equipment across multiple operational sites.

In this role you will:

Deliver planned and reactive electrical maintenance in line with site maintenance schedules

Carry out preventative maintenance activities to improve plant reliability, safety, and performance

Diagnose and resolve complex electrical faults across industrial and multi-discipline systems

Provide technical support and input into mechanical, operational, and instrumentation fault-finding

You will be working across our large-scale industrial site in a high-risk environment, requiring a strong safety focus and a practical, hands-on approach.

This is an 11-month fixed term day shift role working 8hr days Monday to Friday, with requirements to support planned plant shutdowns, maintenance outages, callouts, and occasional overtime as required.

What you will bring

To succeed in this role, you will be a Registered Electrician with a current EWRB practising licence and proven experience in industrial or heavy commercial environments.

You will also demonstrate:

Strong experience in industrial electrical maintenance, fault finding, and diagnostics

Confidence working with HV systems and/or industrial instrumentation (highly advantageous)

Ability to interpret technical information and resolve complex plant issues independently

A strong safety mindset, particularly in high-risk or operationally live environments

The ability to work autonomously while contributing effectively within a multi-disciplinary team

Clear communication skills when working with engineers, maintenance teams, and operations

This role is not suited to entry-level electricians or those without industrial maintenance experience.

What we can offer

We offer the opportunity to work within a large, technically diverse industrial environment where your expertise directly contributes to plant reliability and operational performance.

You will also receive:

A stable 11-month fixed-term opportunity within an established industrial organisation

Ongoing technical learning and development opportunities

Company-funded Southern Cross health insurance

Monthly company performance-based bonuses

Exposure to complex, large-scale industrial systems and maintenance challenges
