Jora New Zealand will close on 9th September 2026. Thank you for being with us, we are cheering you on as you continue your career journey. KANDO Innovation – East Tamaki, North Island At KANDO, we don’t just make parts - we build the machines that set the benchmark for quality, safety, and performance. Our in-house machine shop is where it all begins. From precision brake systems to advanced machine vision assemblies, we design and build equipment that’s shipped and installed around the world. Every component you touch will become part of something remarkable, a machine that performs better, lasts longer, and does what others can’t. About this role: Variety: No two weeks look exactly the same. You’ll manufacture everything from prototype R&D components to production parts used in machines exported globally. Ownership: Take each job from engineering drawing through to finished, inspected component. Hours: Monday to Friday, 7:30am - 4:00pm, with flexibility where practical. Overtime: Available and encouraged for those who want it.
