Rope Access Technician
Visa sponsorship
Trade · Auckland, New Zealand · Full-Time · $30 - $36.50/hr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Whether you work on towers in Dubai, Doha or Riyadh, this could be a considered next move. A commercial property maintenance specialist with over 20 years in New Zealand is appointing five Rope Access Technician professionals, permanent and full time, to care for buildings at height.
Your time will be divided between greater Auckland and Christchurch as projects call for it, so the role includes regular travel, nights away and occasional short visits to other regions.
The agreement provides a minimum of 70 hours a fortnight, and the usual pattern is 40 hours a week, either 7am to 5pm Monday to Saturday or a 6pm to 2am night shift Monday to Thursday, with rosters shared about a week beforehand. Industry training and further IRATA levels support your development.
The employer is accredited and able to sponsor, and it welcomes IRATA-qualified abseilers who are currently overseas to get in contact.
Present your IRATA certification, rope hours and safety tickets cleanly on your CV. Refine your rope access CV for a New Zealand move before applying.
