Production & Assembly Technician

We’re looking for a reliable, hands-on person to join a small, friendly workshop team in Te Rapa. This is a permanent opportunity with a well-established New Zealand manufacturer, working with firearm components. The role is primarily focused on assembling firearm components, and making sure finished products meet a high standard before they reach customers. You’ll also be responsible for packing and dispatching orders, along with general workshop duties. If you’re practical, take pride in your work, and have a great eye for detail, this could be a great opportunity to secure a stable, long-term role.

What you'll be doing:

• Assembling firearm components
• Checking parts for quality, accuracy and finish

• The ability to follow processes and maintain high-quality standards
• Someone reliable, punctual and comfortable working independently
• A positive attitude and willingness to help out across the workshop
• Previous experience in manufacturing, mechanical work, engineering, or quality control would be an advantage, but we're open to someone with the right practical skills and attitude.

What's on offer?

• Permanent employment Monday to Friday, 8am to 4:30pm
• $28–$35 per hour, depending on experience
• A small, supportive and friendly team
• Varied, hands-on work in a workshop environment
