Tauranga, New Zealand Tonkin + Taylor Full time

We are looking for a technician at a junior to intermediate level to join our team in **Tauranga**. This full-time permanent role is a great opportunity for someone looking to kick-start their career or further develop existing skills and interest in the Internet of Things (IoT).

In this role, you will be expected to carry out technical work with a high level of care and precision. The work will be a combination of office-based work and hands-on fieldwork. A reasonable degree of physical and practical capability will be required to successfully carry out fieldwork tasks.

Duties include:

- Telemetry equipment and sensor assembly, bench testing, configuration and installation
- Monitoring of field instruments, processing of data and reporting
- Troubleshooting and diagnosis of problems with electronic equipment
- Assisting with research and development of new hardware
- Integration of instrument data with our customer-facing software
- Supporting existing projects and customers, ensuring continuity of high-quality service

Ideally you will:

- Have basic familiarity with low-voltage electrical concepts
- Have some experience assembling electronic equipment
- Be computer savvy, with some degree of proficiency with Microsoft Excel
- Have reasonable mathematical skills
- Have familiarity with using hand-tools for assembly of equipment
- Want a job that involves a mix of in-office and outdoor technical work
- Be happy to travel for work, occasionally spending time away from home to carry out project work

Some good-to-have but not essential credentials:

- Computer and device networking knowhow
- A relevant tertiary qualification or previous experience in the technology, manufacturing, mechanical or computer networking disciplines

You will be part of a team but will also be required to work independently under the direction of the Team Leader and Engineers.

We offer ongoing training and professional development - on-the-job and formal courses aimed at developing your career. We also promote an open culture where innovation and continuous improvement is encouraged.

At Geotechnics we believe you should love your job and the environment you work in. We offer a social club, family events, team competitions and a well-being allowance among other initiatives to enhance your employee experience.

We are proud to be an Immigration New Zealand Accredited Employer and a member of Diversity Works. _We also encourage speakers of Te Reo Māori or Pasifika languages to apply._
