Assembly Leader

Joining a long-standing company where you will be leading and guiding a team in the assembly line, while still getting hands on yourself. Keen to step up, lead a crew and still stay hands-on? \n
\nWe’re working with a well-established, globally recognised manufacturing business that’s been doing great things for years — designing, building, and delivering complex industrial products here in NZ and overseas.\n
\nThey’ve got a big, busy production environment and a solid reputation. Now they’re looking for an Assembly Lead to take charge of a key area on the floor.\n

\n The Role \n
\nYou’ll be leading a team of around 15 in the assembly space — keeping things running smoothly, hitting targets, and making sure quality stays high. This isn’t a desk job. You’ll be right there with the team — problem-solving, guiding, and getting stuck in when needed . \n

\n What You’ll Be Doing \n
\n

\n
• Leading, guiding and supporting the team day-to-day
\n
• Keeping production on track — safety, quality, output
\n
• Getting hands-on with assembly when needed
\n
• Reading and working from drawings and building instructions
\n
• Helping install and position components (mechanical electrical)
\n
• Troubleshooting issues and keeping things moving
\n
• Working closely with the Production Manager
\n

What We’re Looking For \n
\n

\n
• Experience in a manufacturing or assembly environment
\n
• Solid mechanical or electrical background (both = a big plus)
\n
• Previous experience leading or supervising a team is essential
\n
• Comfortable reading drawings and building plans
\n
• Someone who’s practical, proactive, and good with people
\n
• Happy to roll up your sleeves and lead from the front
\n
• NZ based with full work rights
\n

The Good Stuff \n
\n

\n
• Strong, stable business with a great reputation
\n
• Proper mix of leadership hands-on work
\n
• Interesting, varied production environment
\n
• Chance to really make your mark with the team
\n
