WHO WE HIRE
WHAT WE OFFER

PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT THE WORK.
We hire people who care about doing the work right. Inspectors, engineers, NDT technicians, calibration specialists, draughtspeople, and back-office professionals. What they have in common: they take the technical side seriously, they take the safety side seriously, and they would rather get it right than get it fast. Many of our team have spent time on the tools. Some are early in their careers, learning through on-the-job mentoring. If you are technically minded, safety-focused, and prefer being on a job site to being behind a desk — there is a good chance there is a place for you here.
■ Multi‑disciplinary career path.
Movement between divisions is encouraged where the right qualifications line up.
■ Training and qualification support.
NDT certification, IANZ technical signatory status, IQP approval, chartered engineer pathways.
■ National footprint.
Five offices, mobile teams, work that takes you to ports, plants, substations, and rural sites.
■ Genuine safety culture.
5‑star Impac Prequal reflects how we operate, not just how we present.
■ 100% NZ owned.
Decisions are made here.
