We are a leading contractor in the electrical distribution industry responsible for the design, construction and maintenance of overhead and underground lines and equipment. With a local depot in Cromwell, you might already know us, play sport with us or go to school with some of our kids. In addition to our Cromwell location, we have our main office in Christchurch and another depot in Tawa.

Grow, care, connect – three words that mean a lot around here. At Connetics we believe in #AllWays Connecting and we don't just mean people to electricity. For our kaimahi this means connecting to development and learning to grow your career, making a connection with workplace legends like yourself who become your trusted work partner, and importantly being connected to an employer who cares for you, your family, and our environment. While the work might be the same at any employer, what makes the difference is who the employer is, who your work mates are, and how you are supported to grow, care, and connect.

The Role

If you have at least three years experience as a Line Mechanic with experience in overhead line construction and maintenance and a background in distribution and supply, then we want to connect you to this opportunity.

You will join a friendly, social team who have a great time together, look out for one another and are absolutely committed to everyone's safety. You'll bring strong written and oral English skills, an open mind, and confidence to bring new ideas to the table. The role is full time (40 hours per week). However, you'll also be happy for some work-related travel - sometimes you'll have to go where you're needed to maintain and restore networks.

You will also have EWRB approved qualifications which are assessed as being equivalent to Level 4 NZ Certificate in Electricity Supply Line Mechanic Distribution (or equivalent)
