Job description
About the role
Silver Fern Farms in Te Aroha is seeking a capable Maintenance Electrician to join its engineering function. The position focuses on practical, day-to-day electrical upkeep, fault finding, repairs, and reliability improvements across a large industrial food processing site. You will also contribute to project work and the installation of new equipment across the plant.
Working arrangement
The maintenance team works 45 hours per week on a two-week rotating roster, Monday to Friday. Day shift runs from 5:00am to 4:00pm, while night shift runs from 2:30pm to 2:00am.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll be part of a stable and progressive engineering team, helping keep electrical systems operating safely and efficiently. The role includes hands-on maintenance work, troubleshooting, reliability improvements, and supporting site equipment installations and electrical applications across the facility.
What makes this opportunity attractive
The employer offers a competitive salary, ongoing training, and development opportunities. You’ll be working with a supportive team that values collaboration, practical problem solving, and continuous improvement. This is a chance to use your electrical experience in a major industrial food manufacturing environment.
About you
The ideal candidate is a team-oriented electrician who can also work independently when needed. Experience in FMCG or another production environment would be helpful, but a strong willingness to learn in an industrial setting is also valued. You should be comfortable diagnosing faults, thinking analytically, and communicating clearly with others on site. A proactive attitude, sound interpersonal skills, and a hands-on approach are important for success in this role.
