Job Description
Fabricators, CNC Operators, Painters, Electricians & Traffic Management Christchurch & South Island, New Zealand | $30 to $50 per hour Build It. Cut It. Weld It. Wire It. Maintain It. Keep It Moving. The South Island is growing. Manufacturing is expanding. New commercial developments are underway. Infrastructure projects continue to roll out, and engineering workshops are busier than ever. At OnePersonnel, we're partnering with some of the South Island's leading employers to find skilled people who take pride in their work. People who don't cut corners. People who turn up, get stuck in, and leave behind work they're proud of. Whether you're fabricating steel, operating CNC machinery, welding heavy structures, maintaining critical equipment, installing electrical systems, applying quality finishes, or keeping worksites safe through professional traffic management, your skills are in demand. Fabricators : You can look at a pile of steel and somehow see the finished product before anyone else does. Drawings don't scare you, measurements actually matter, and if someone says, "That'll be close enough," you probably need to go for a walk. Welders: You know the difference between a weld that simply sticks and one that's a work of art. MIG, TIG, Flux Core or Stick, you're happiest when sparks are flying and nobody asks if you can "just glue it instead." CNC Operators : You speak fluent G-code, precision is second nature, and watching a machine turn raw material into perfection never gets old. You know that a fraction of a millimeter can make all the difference, and you treat tolerances like they're sacred. Painters: You know that a great finish starts long before the paint comes out. Prep properly, mask it once, spray it right, and resist the urge to throttle the bloke who leans on the fresh paint. Electricians: You're basically a detective with a multimeter. You solve problems others can't see, you understand that electricity deserves respect, and you've lost count of how many times you've heard, "While you're here..." Maintenance Workers & Maintenance Fitters: When something breaks, everyone suddenly remembers your phone number. You keep machines alive, solve problems before they become disasters, and have somehow become an expert in fixing things people swore they "didn't touch." Traffic Controllers, TMO & STMS: You've mastered the art of stopping traffic with a sign and a look. You keep crews and the public safe, stay calm under pressure, and politely answer the same question 47 times a day: "How much longer?" Opportunities Across the South Island Whether you're looking for work in Christchurch or considering relocating, we recruit throughout: Otago Nelson Marlborough West Coast If you're open to relocating, we'd love to hear from you. www.onepersonnel.co.nz What We're Looking For You're currently in New Zealand and available for work. You have relevant industry experience. You hold the licenses, registrations, endorsements, or certifications required for your trade. Health and Safety isn't just something you talk about at toolbox meetings. You show up, work hard, and your teammates are happy to see your name on the roster. What's In It For You $30 to $50 per hour, depending on experience, qualifications, and the role. Ongoing work with respected South Island employers. Great teams, well-run sites, and employers who appreciate good people. Opportunities to grow your skills and build a long-term career.
