Industrial & Infrastructure Electrician - Varied Sites & Travel

Industrial & Infrastructure Electricians – Manawatū Are you a registered electrician looking for variety, independence, and genuinely different work every day? We’re recruiting for a well-established, locally owned electrical services company with a long-standing presence across industrial and infrastructure sites throughout the Manawatū and wider North Island. This isn’t a single-site, same-shift kind of job. Our client’s teams move between water and wastewater plants, roads, factories, abattoirs, streetlighting, traffic signals, airports, and Defence Force bases, often covering several different jobs and locations in a single day. We’re currently looking to fill two roles. Industrial Electrician This is a sole-charge position covering a broad mix of industrial and commercial maintenance and project work, including 24/7 production sites, factory relocations, and a Three Waters contract for Palmerston North (responsive and planned maintenance). You’ll be expected to work independently, manage your own sign-off, and adapt to a different environment most days rather than settling into one plant or one routine. Fault-finding, maintenance, and installation work across industrial and commercial sites Supporting a Three Waters contract with responsive and scheduled maintenance Working solo and managing your own job planning and sign-off Moving between multiple sites and job types within the same day Infrastructure Electrician This role sits on the infrastructure side of the business, covering airports (including Gisborne, Taupo, Napier, Rotorua, Whanganui, New Plymouth, Palmerston North, and Ōhākea), streetlighting, and traffic signals. It suits someone with a lines or civil background more than a traditional industrial background. All work is low voltage; this isn’t a lines company and doesn’t go near substations or high voltage.
