Job description
Training as an Auto Electrician or recently qualified? Want to work on something a bit different?
Pro Auto is a specialist vehicle solutions business based in Rolleston. We work on everything from emergency service and pilot vehicles through to commercial fleets, 4WDs, communications and specialist vehicle builds.
We’re looking for someone with automotive electrical experience who is keen to develop their skills and get involved in interesting, varied hands-on work.
You might be nearing the end of your apprenticeship, newly qualified, or already have a few years under your belt. You don't need to know everything – we're much more interested in good fundamentals, practical ability, attitude and a willingness to learn.
The work can include:
- Automotive electrical installations and repairs
- Specialist and commercial vehicle builds
- 4WD fit-outs and accessories
- Lighting, switches, cameras and vehicle technology
- GPS and communications equipment
- Wiring, mounting and integrating equipment
- Air conditioning
- Fabrication and vehicle modifications
- Testing and fault-finding
This isn't a role where you'll spend every day doing routine servicing or chasing the same diagnostic faults. There's a lot of building, installing, wiring and problem-solving, with the opportunity to develop experience across some pretty specialised projects.
We’re looking for someone who:
- Has automotive electrical training or experience
- Is confident using hand and power tools
- Enjoys practical, hands-on work
- Has good attention to detail
- Can take direction and get on with the job
- Is keen to learn and broaden their skills
- Holds a full NZ Driver Licence
Experience with 4WDs, fabrication, welding, general mechanical work or vehicle accessories is a bonus, but definitely not essential.
What we offer:
- $35–$45 per hour depending on skills and experience
- Interesting specialist vehicle projects
- Variety beyond a traditional automotive workshop
- Opportunity to learn and develop specialist skills
- Support from an experienced team
- Full-time permanent position
- Rolleston location
- Immediate start available, or we can work around your notice period
If you're building your career in auto electrical and want the opportunity to do more than standard workshop work, we'd love to hear from you.
No lengthy cover letter needed – just tell us a little about your experience and where you're at in your automotive electrical career.
