  • Maintain strict health, safety, and environmental standards
  • Work within a skilled team on marine and industrial maintenance projects


What You Need

  • A recognised Level 4 trade qualification in Industrial Painting or equivalent
  • At least 5 years of industrial, marine, heavy engineering, or construction painting experience
  • Proven experience with abrasive blasting and industrial paint systems
  • Experience operating airless spray equipment
  • Knowledge of paint inspection and thickness testing requirements
  • A full NZ Class 1 Driver Licence
  • The ability to obtain and maintain a New Zealand Defence Security Clearance


What's In It for You
