Join our hardworking and supportive team at a leading Canterbury manufacturing site.
At Intelligro, we are on the lookout for a proactive, hands-on Maintenance Engineer with a broad range of skills and a 'can do' attitude.
Based at our busy growing media and related materials manufacturing site just south of Christchurch City and towards Rolleston, you'll play a key role in keeping our plant and equipment in top shape to support our high-volume production needs.
You'll report to the Operations Manager and work closely with our Engineering Services Team Leader to carry out preventive maintenance, urgent repairs, and improvement projects that reduce downtime and improve efficiency.
What You'll Be Doing:
Leading and managing the site's preventative maintenance programme
Attending to breakdowns and urgent repairs to keep production moving
Supporting the Engineering Team Leader with urgent repairs, maintenance projects and upgrades
Building great working relationships with our machine operators and suppliers
Keeping accurate records using our computerised maintenance system
Ensuring each day's tasks are well-organised and ready for action
Always putting Health, Safety, and quality first
About You
A true jack of all trades who enjoys variety and challenge
Mechanically minded — you're just as happy welding as you are pulling an engine or fixing a conveyor
Calm under pressure, with a solutions-focused mindset
Strong communication skills — able to work with everyone from our operators to suppliers
Physically fit, hands-on, and ready to get stuck in outdoors in all conditions if situations require it
Enjoy working with the team, but just as happy working autonomously
Tech-savvy — comfortable using digital maintenance systems and basic computer tools
Flexible, organised, and reliable, with great time management
Willing to get licensed for machinery or tools as needed — we'll support you with training
You'll likely have a background in manufacturing, engineering, farming, or a similar environment.
But above all, you'll be someone who takes ownership and pride in their work.
