Job Description
MB Century – Innovators in Geothermal Technology
At MB Century, we’re proud to be one of New Zealand’s leading geothermal and energy services companies. Our people are problem‑solvers, innovators, and guardians of the environment — and we’re looking for talented individuals who share that purpose.
We are inviting Expressions of Interest from Instrumentation Technicians who are passionate about research, development, and next‑generation downhole technology. If you thrive on technical challenge, hands‑on engineering, and contributing to meaningful renewable energy projects, this is an opportunity to connect with a company shaping the future of geothermal innovation.
About the Opportunity
This role sits at the heart of our R&D and tool‑development work. You’ll support the full lifecycle of our downhole wireline instruments — from concept and design through to testing, calibration, and field commissioning.
The role will:
Support R&D initiatives to design and improve downhole tools
Diagnose, repair, and enhance electronic instrumentation
Build prototypes and validate new designs through rigorous testing
Develop and modify firmware, embedded systems, and supporting software
Perform SMT/SMD soldering and electronic board work
Create and update electrical schematics and 3D mechanical models
Commission new tools in the field and analyse downhole data
Collaborate with suppliers, manufacturers, and internal engineering teams
Manage small R&D projects from concept to delivery
This is a role for someone who enjoys solving complex problems, experimenting with new ideas, and seeing their innovations deployed in real‑world geothermal environments.
Opportunities to Travel and Work Overseas
MB Century supports geothermal operations across New Zealand and internationally. For the right candidate, this role may include opportunities to:
Travel to overseas geothermal fields
Support international tool commissioning
Work with global suppliers and technology partners
Represent MB Century on specialised R&D and field assignments
If you’re looking for a role that takes your engineering skills beyond the workshop and into the world, you’ll find it here.
Why MB Century?
A company with a proud legacy in geothermal innovation — one that invests in its people, embraces new ideas, and operates with integrity and purpose.
Our values guide everything we do:
PONO -Doing the right thing, at the right time, for the right reason
AROHA -Respect, empathy, generosity, and genuine connection
KAITIAKITANGA- Protecting and caring for our environment
If these resonate with you, you’ll feel right at home here.
We’re interested in hearing from people with:
Bachelor of Engineering (Electronic, Mechanical, or Mechatronics)
Ideally 5–10 years’ instrumentation engineering experience
Experience with electronic servicing or engineering environments
SMT/SMD soldering and fine‑motor precision
3D modelling (SolidWorks essential)
Electronic design (Altium)
Embedded systems and coding (C, C++, C#)
Python or SAS scripting
Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills
Ability to work outdoors on geothermal sites
