If you’re thinking “new year, new job” and want a role where your skills are valued and your effort is recognised, this could be the fresh start you’re looking for.

We take pride in what we do – and we enjoy doing it together. While there’s plenty of banter and team spirit, we’re serious about delivering top-quality service to our customers.

About the role

This vacancy has arisen due to an internal transfer within Farmchief, creating an opportunity to join our Waikato Service team.

As a Service Technician, you’ll be responsible for diagnosing, servicing, repairing, and maintaining customer and dealer-owned agricultural machinery. You’ll also assist with field service work when required.

The important (but necessary) stuff:

• Diagnostics, servicing, maintenance, and repairs across a range of machinery
• Testing machinery and clearly communicating issues to customers or management
• Using electronic monitors, software, and computers to calibrate and operate equipment
• Replacing parts and keeping accurate, detailed service records
• Recording labour and parts correctly and efficiently
• Maintaining a tidy and safe work environment, including company vehicles
• Communicating with the manager regarding job progress and timelines
• Ordering parts to ensure work is completed efficiently
• Keeping customers informed and recommending additional required work
• Working as part of a cohesive, respectful team and sharing knowledge with others

The perks (just as important):

• Competitive remuneration based on capabilities.
• Time and a half pay for work exceeding 50 hours.
• Tool allowance to support your work.
• Service Ute with toolboxes etc
• Regular product training to enhance skills and knowledge.
• Opportunities for upskilling and personal growth.
• Regular team-building events, BBQs, work shouts, and generous Christmas gifts.
• Occasional team incentive bonuses.
