Rope Access Technician
Visa sponsorship
Trade · Auckland, New Zealand · Full-Time · $30 - $36.50/hr · Visa: Employer sponsored
An Auckland commercial property maintenance company with over 20 years in New Zealand is recruiting five permanent, full-time abseilers for maintenance work at height. The role is multi-region: time is divided between greater Auckland and Christchurch depending on the work, which means regular travel with overnight stays and the odd short trip elsewhere.
Contracts set a minimum of 70 hours a fortnight, and most staff work 40 hours a week, either 7am to 5pm Monday to Saturday or night shifts from 6pm to 2am Monday to Thursday, with the roster issued about a week ahead. As an accredited employer able to offer visa sponsorship, the company invites IRATA-qualified abseilers who are currently overseas and want to work in New Zealand to get in touch.
Rope access employers check tickets first, so put your IRATA level, first aid and height safety certificates at the top of your CV. A Build AI CV can lay them out cleanly in English.
