Auto Electrical Technicians - Ashburton, Rolleston and Timaru

One day you might be working at the top of Mount Hutt – the next servicing a farmer’s tractor on the Canterbury plains.

HERES THE GREAT TOWN

Ashburton is a town that is big enough to have all the amenities but small enough to have strong community spirit and involvement… you may even come to call it ‘home’ one day.It’s a good place to raise a family with a large amount of community group activities and sporting clubs available to join.Drive an hour north or south from Ashburton and you are in Timaru or Christchurch with all the city fanfare, or head inland for skiing, fishing, boating, hiking, mountain biking, hunting etc.

 

HERE'S THE INSIDE WORD

“I have worked for Newlands since 2005. It's great seeing the company continue to grow and feeling a part of this expansion by contributing - not only on the tools - but with input to improve the ways we operate. As the biggest employers of auto electrical apprentices in NZ it’s rewarding to pass on knowledge and see apprentices come through to being fully qualified.We’re known for our ‘can-do, will-do’ culture at Newlands and every day something different rolls into the yard. While not limited to any specific machinery we all have our favourites and enjoy working with the locals and regulars getting them going again.I am often ‘down the road’ installing large wiring looms (many of the looms are made at Newlands) into new agricultural machinery.I’m fortunate to do a job I enjoy while being able to be an active member of the Rural Fire Brigade. Newlands have been fully supportive in every aspect of volunteering including time needed for training, call outs and even recovery after extensive emergencies.”Jason Bruce, Ashburton Workshop Foreman“There’s a large variety of work and plenty of getting out and about in the countryside. We have a positive team and all help each other out. Its great to live out of the big city while still getting a good wage and even starting out it’s much easier to afford a nice house here in Ashburton.” Jason, Auto Electrical Engineer, Newlands Auto Electrical.
