Workshop Technician
Visa sponsorship
Manufacturing · Auckland, New Zealand · Full-Time · $50,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored
An Auckland fabrication and engineering firm needs a Workshop Technician who can operate CNC machines and also handle fitting, assembly, fabrication and job coordination. The position suits a practical all-rounder who owns the production work and delivers it accurately and on schedule.
Expect to interpret engineering drawings, decide what each job demands and get completed components ready to install on site. This is a wide-ranging workshop role, not a narrow machine operator post. Employer-supported visa sponsorship may be available to eligible applicants.
Because CNC, fitting and fabrication skills are sought together, list the machines you have operated, the drawings you can read and the work you have coordinated. Build AI CV can help show that range in a clear layout.

- Interpret drawings and specifications to determine materials, dimensions, tolerances and how parts go together
