Downer has been designing, building and sustaining New Zealand's infrastructure for over a century and is a leading provider of integrated services in Australia and New Zealand.

With over 10,000 employees in New Zealand, we work alongside some of New Zealand's biggest businesses, councils and government agencies.

Downer Power and Gas is a leading provider of end-to-end services, providing design, construction & maintenance solutions for Power & Gas retailers, metering asset and distribution network owners. We have commenced a contract to replace a large number of domestic gas meters with smart gas meters across the Waikato region, and have a need for a number of great people to join our project team in Hamilton and the surrounding district.

The Role:

In this technically challenging role, you'll be a key member of our Waikato based Gas Smart Meter Project team, providing quality service and workmanship in carrying out the replacement of gas meters and some associated equipment on primarily domestic based gas meter systems. You will have a wide range of skills and can work independently to carry out these meter changes on a day-to-day basis. You will need to optimise the use of your (and Downer) resources and contribute to the successful completion of the Gas Smart Meter contract.

You'll enjoy working outdoors, doing physical and mechanical work where you will use both hand tools and test equipment to get the job done in a variety of conditions. You will need to be familiar with and follow strict safety procedures as your natural way of working.

  • In-depth knowledge and skills involving mechanical, engineering, pressure, and electrical systems and equipment
  • A relevant and current Gas Distribution Industry Certificate of Competence (CoC) (Required however training will be available to suitable applicants)
  • A licensed Registered or Certifying Gasfitter, or hold a NZ National Certificate in Gas Pressure Control Level 3, or a relevant technical/mechanical trade qualification
  • Sound knowledge of gas testing, protection equipment, systems and procedures utilised on gas networks (Required however training will be available to suitable applicants)
  • Relevant industry related experience
  • Strong commitment to Health and Safety
  • A clean full drivers licence and ability to drive a manual vehicle
  • Ability to follow instructions and have great time keeping skills
  • Availability to participate in a limited after hours roster

Not someone who likes to be stuck inside behind a computer, you'll enjoy being hands on, working outside, and committed to getting the job done. Your previous work experience will also demonstrate a conscientious nature, quality focus and ability to work in both a team and independently,

Describing yourself as organised and well planned you are someone who takes a disciplined approach to your work, as well as being able to think on your feet.

We Offer:

This is an outstanding opportunity to work on an exciting long term project. We offer you the opportunity to join our diverse and inclusive culture, and be part of a great team working in a collaborative environment. We provide comprehensive training to meet the stringent skills criteria for the project, a competitive remuneration package reflective of your skills and experience, and all specialised equipment you need to do the job.
