About the employer


The employer is a long-established employer of choice in the materials handling industry and is seeking an experienced and motivated Forklift Technician to join their professional team of technicians.


With a reputation built on quality service and employee satisfaction, this is a business where people build their careers.


About the role


You will be responsible for the repair, maintenance, and servicing of a modern and diverse fleet of forklifts.


This is a mixed role, offering variety between field service calls and workshop-based duties, ensuring no two days are the same.


Key duties:


  • Conducting diagnostics, repairs, and preventative maintenance on a range of equipment, including: counterbalance forklifts, reach trucks, stock pickers, and other specialist equipment
  • Performing service and repairs across mechanical and hydraulic systems
  • Completing field service calls at client sites across the Hamilton, Cambridge, and wider Waikato region, including logistics centres, manufacturing plants, and various other environments
  • Carrying out workshop-based servicing and repairs to the highest standard
  • Ensuring all work is completed efficiently and documented accurately.
  • Providing exceptional customer service and technical advice


What we're looking for


While experience with electric (IE) forklifts is beneficial, we are primarily seeking a solid foundation in mechanical diagnostics and repair.


  • A diesel mechanic or other relevant automotive trade qualification is required
  • Proven experience with materials handling equipment ideally, although not necessarily, extending across both IC and IE machines
  • A solid background in mechanical and hydraulic systems
  • The ability to work autonomously and manage your own schedule
  • A full, clean New Zealand driver's licence
  • A safety-first mindset and a strong commitment to quality workmanship
