Exciting Opportunity for Skilled Tradespeople Ready to Transition into Tooling Engineering

Are you a seasoned tradesperson with a passion for precision and design? Are you tired of being on the shop floor and ready to use your experience in a more creative, impactful way? We have the perfect opportunity for you

Position: Tooling Design Engineer
Location: Rotorua
Salary: Competitive + Benefits

Why Transition to Tooling Design Engineering?

As a Tooling Design Engineer, you'll have the chance to:

  • Design & Innovate: Use your hands-on expertise to create and refine roll tooling for our equipment that shape the future in the metal building industry.

  • Less Time in the Field: Step away from the heavy lifting and physical demands. Work in a dynamic, design-focused role with a mix of office and commissioning environment.

  • Collaborate & Lead: Join a team where your insight and trades experience are valued, while also contributing to engineering projects and design processes.

  • Continued Growth: With training and support, you'll transition from hands-on work to a design-focused career, opening doors to future engineering opportunities.

Who We're Looking For:

  • Skilled Tradespeople: You've worked with machines, tools, and materials—whether it's machining, or assembly—and have developed a keen eye for quality and precision.

  • Passion for Design: You're not just good with tools; you've always had an interest in how things are designed, optimized, and built from the ground up.

  • Ready for a Change: If you're looking for a role that blends your technical know-how with your creative ideas, tooling design is your next step.

  • Problem Solver: Your experience gives you the ability to understand complex problems and come up with practical, efficient solutions.

  • Computer savvy: You are both comfortable and familiar with Microsoft applications and might have some knowledge, or at least, interest in AutoCad

Why Work With Us?

  • Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a more balanced lifestyle without sacrificing the rewarding challenges you're used to.

  • Training & Development: We'll support your transition from the tools to engineering design, providing hands-on training and mentorship in tooling design and engineering.

  • Impactful Work: Your designs will directly influence the efficiency and quality of manufacturing processes, giving you a chance to leave a lasting mark on the industry.

Ready to apply your skills in a new way? Join us and be part of a team where your experience and design passion will take you further than you ever imagined
