Ruapehu Alpine Lifts
Job Description
Join the team behind one of New Zealand’s most iconic alpine operations
The Whakapapa whānau are a small but ambitious team operating year-round on the northern slopes of Mt Ruapehu.
In winter, Whakapapa transforms into one of New Zealand’s largest ski areas, welcoming guests from across New Zealand and around the world. In summer, our iconic Sky Waka gondola provides access to a spectacular alpine sightseeing experience in the heart of Tongariro National Park.
For many of our guests, Whakapapa is more than a destination, it’s a place woven into family traditions and lifelong memories, often across multiple generations.
Mō te tūnga | About the role
No two days are the same at Whakapapa.
We’re looking for a qualified Electrician to join our maintenance team and help keep critical infrastructure and mountain operations running safely and reliably year-round.
This is not your standard electrical role. One day you could be fault-finding and repairing infrastructure, the next you could be assisting with snowmaking installations in alpine terrain.
Key responsibilities include:
Carrying out electrical maintenance in accordance with all relevant legislation and standards
Installation, testing, troubleshooting and repair of electrical systems and equipment
Testing and tagging of equipment
Supporting maintenance projects across the wider operation
Assisting with parts and supply ordering
Liaising with suppliers and on-site contractors
Completing operational checks and maintaining high safety and operational standards
While electrical work will be your primary focus, we value team players who are willing to support wider maintenance activities when required.
Ngā pūkenga me ngā wheako ōu | Your skills and experience
You’ll be someone who enjoys practical problem solving, takes pride in high-quality work, and thrives in a dynamic team environment.
You will ideally bring:
A recognised electrical qualification and current New Zealand registration (or the ability to obtain registration)
Broad maintenance experience, with some hydraulic and mechanical knowledge advantageous
Strong troubleshooting and fault-finding capability
The ability to build positive working relationships with a wide range of people
A willingness to work in a unique alpine environment where weather and conditions can change quickly
A genuine passion for the outdoors and mountain environments
For more information on the role, check out the position description.
Ngā āhuatanga kei a mātou | What we offer
Working at Whakapapa comes with some incredible perks:
Complimentary season pass for skiing and/or snowboarding
Discounted lift passes for friends and family
Free beginner and intermediate group lessons
Discounts on equipment rental, food and beverage, and retail purchases
Priority access and discounts at our on-mountain medical centre
Most importantly, you’ll be part of a close-knit team operating in one of the most spectacular and culturally significant environments in Aotearoa.
This is more than just a job, it’s a chance to build unforgettable experiences and be part of something genuinely unique.
Remuneration range - depending on experience
