Workshop Technician
Trade · Papakura, Auckland, New Zealand · Full-Time · $50,000/yr
Engineering and metal fabrication is the field, and a verified employer wants a seasoned Fitter & CNC Machine Operator who can run with workshop jobs from start to finish. Expect to keep production orderly, precise and on schedule, moving between CNC operation, fitting, assembly, fabrication and the practical coordination of each job.
You will need to read engineering drawings with confidence, work out exactly what has to be manufactured, plan the work and make sure every finished item is ready for installation. Far from a narrow operator role, it calls for a true workshop all-rounder with broad technical and hands-on ability, whether you are currently in Dubai, Muscat or elsewhere.
Key Responsibilities
- Go through drawings and job specs to pin down materials, dimensions, tolerances and how things assemble
- Organise workshop jobs and decide what gets made first
- Operate CNC equipment alongside general metal fabrication machines
- Fit, assemble and fabricate to specification, with basic MIG and TIG welding as required
- Measure and check completed parts for accuracy, sorting out any fabrication problems before items leave the workshop
- Ready fabricated items and materials for installation on site, ensuring crews get the correct components, fasteners and supplies
- Keep workshop and site staff well informed
- Look after the workshop's machinery and equipment
- Promote a safe, tidy, efficient workshop, with cleanliness, quality and safety kept high
- Occasionally head out to installation sites to lend a hand with fitting

- A solid grounding in workshop operations, engineering or metal fabrication, including how fabrication processes and job sequencing fit together
- CNC machinery experience, plus competence with everyday fabrication machines and engineering tools
- Reads and interprets engineering drawings without close supervision
- Strong experience in assembly and fitting, along with basic MIG and TIG welding skills
- A history of coordinating or owning workshop jobs, setting priorities and working on your own
