Our Clients operate the Whakapapa and Turoa Ski Areas, and have a fantastic opportunity for a Lift Mechanic to join their team – Yes! this is a year round role.

Joining the energetic and dedicated Maintenance team, as a Lift Mechanic your main focus will be the maintenance of the ski area lifts, as well as other transportation equipment and systems in use in both Ski Areas – which includes the Sky Waka Gondola. While prior experience working on similar systems is ideal, if you have a thirst for development, training on the specific systems/equipment will be offered.

Tasks of this role will include:

  • Daily lift servicing and pre-start checks
  • Scheduled maintenance and repairs
  • Strip down and rebuild servicing, overhauling and maintaining lift systems and components
  • Upgrading and replacing parts to new technology and systems

While specific lift mechanic experience would be great, it isn’t essential. To be successful in this role you'll bring a balance of the following skills and attributes:

  • Trade qualification; diesel, petrol, marine, avionics or engineering
  • Experience working at heights, including the use of relevant abseil and safety equipment
  • A broad knowledge of maintenance related skills
  • The ability to take the initiative and work unsupervised when required
  • The ability to effectively organise and manage a range of priorities
  • A great attitude and willingness to learn
  • Pride yourself on quality work and safe work practices
