Job Description

Dairy Service Technician
Are you mechanically minded and enjoy hands-on work? Our client is looking for a reliable and practical individual to join their team as a Dairy Farm Technician, specialising in the installation, servicing, and maintenance of milking machines and related farm equipment.
This role is ideal for someone with a background in farm machinery, general maintenance, or mechanical repairs—especially if you’ve grown up working with tractors, bikes, or engines.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Install, maintain, and repair milking machines and associated equipment on dairy farms
  • Conduct routine servicing and performance testing (full training provided)
  • Assist with basic welding, fabrication, and low-voltage electrical work (no formal qualification required)
  • Troubleshoot equipment faults and deliver practical solutions on-site
Hours of Work:
  • Standard: 7:30 AM – 4:00 PM
  • Flexibility needed for early starts, late finishes, and seasonal demands
  • Weekend/on-call work on a rotating roster (every 6–8 weeks)
  • Occasional overnight travel for out-of-town jobs
This is a great opportunity to learn on the job and work towards a recognised milking systems qualification. You’ll be part of a supportive, hands-on team servicing farms across the region.

To Apply:
You must be based locally with full-time work rights in New Zealand. Immediate start preferred.
