Rope Access Technician
Visa sponsorship
Trade · Auckland, New Zealand · Full-Time · $30 - $36.50/hr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Kabayan, if rope access is your trade, here is a solid opening. A New Zealand commercial property maintenance company with more than 20 years behind it is hiring five permanent full-time Rope Access Technician staff to keep buildings in shape from the outside.
The role covers two bases, greater Auckland and Christchurch, and you go where the work is. Many OFWs are used to travel, and this job has plenty: regular trips, overnight stays and now and then a short run to another region.
Your contract sets a minimum of 70 hours a fortnight, and a normal week is 40 hours. Shifts are 7am to 5pm from Monday to Saturday, or nights from 6pm to 2am from Monday to Thursday, with the roster shared around a week ahead. You can also grow through industry training and higher IRATA levels.
For those abroad, the company is an accredited employer able to sponsor, and it encourages IRATA-qualified abseilers outside New Zealand to get in touch.
Show your IRATA card, rope hours and first aid units clearly on your CV. Get your New Zealand rope access CV ready and apply with confidence.
