We are a small team in a busy, rural but well-equipped workshop. We work on a wide range of vehicles, equipment and marine of all ages so experience in a variety of these areas is a huge advantage.

• Have a great attitude and contribute to a positive work environment

This is a role with huge variety and an opportunity to work with a team who work hard but like to have a laugh while they do it.

Akaroa is a small but stunning town just over 1 hour from Christchurch - far enough away to feel like you living life in a permanent holiday, but close enough to the city for a weekend city fix!
