Service Technician

Job description
About Us

Crown Equipment is proud of its long history of serving New Zealand's businesses and communities as a material handling equipment company.

With a widely distributed sales and service branch network across the North and South Island locations, our global company brand is well-known and respected in the marketplace.

Our customer value proposition is based on highly skilled staff, quality products, strong service, and parts back-up, as well as leading-edge technology.

About The Role

We have an exciting opportunity for a skilled professional to join our team as a Field Service Technician.

This diverse role will see you based in Christchurch in Canterbury, where you will be part of the team performing field-based or site-based repairs and maintenance on a large fleet of our Forklifts for customers across your assigned area.

You will work through our well-equipped Workshop and have the opportunity to develop and increase your skills with both mechanical battery electric and internal combustion Forklifts, featuring a significant number of different models within the two categories.

Your greatest purpose will be to work together with our customers and support them to keep their businesses running smoothly.

You'll have the chance to learn our products, which will give you the opportunity to progress in the business and the organisation.

While Crown product knowledge would be a real bonus, we have heaps of great training materials available for willing learners.

This is a permanent, full-time role, working Mondays to Fridays with on-call duties and the opportunity for some paid overtime.

Requirements

Ideally, we're looking for candidates with a minimum of 3 years' Material Handling Equipment experience or Auto Electrical, Diesel, or Motor Mechanic experience and/or trade qualification or hydraulics experience (or similar overseas qualification).

To really shine in this role, you'll bring your customer-centric and solutions-focused attitude, supporting our valued customers with service they can trust.

You'll work in a collaborative team environment, so being a team player and prepared to support the team is essential.

Being IT savvy and an agile learner will stand you in good stead, as will your ability to build rapport and relationships, attention to detail, and physical fitness.

As part of your initial and ongoing training, you must be able to travel to Australia (NZ passport or the eligibility to obtain an AUS visa).

Benefits

We offer a great market-related hourly rate ($30-$40p/hr, depending on experience), with the chance to work additional hours at time-and-a-half after 40 hours plus rostered on-call.

Great learning environment with real career development opportunities, including an initial seven-week service training program.

Optional 4-day x 10-hour work schedule (conditions apply).

A strong and supportive team environment.

Chance to work for a trusted supplier in the forklift industry.

The career opportunities with Crown NZ are exciting, offering genuine career paths and development, with people in our business staying for up to 25 years and enjoying a varied career. Read more
