Kernohan Engineering Ltd - offering generous pay, putting your safety first, treating people fairly and proactively training and developing them. What’s not to love?

**About the Job**

This role involves overseeing projects (from fabrication to completion) and the coordination of workshop based tasks. You will also be involved in completing job documentation, making onsite visits, supervising work progress and ensuring H&S standards are met.

You will get to play a proactive hands-on role as a professional tradesperson providing general engineering, welding and structural fabrication expertise both in our Vickerman Street workshop and out on client sites.

You will get to use your skills, knowledge, and abilities to provide effective leadership to our team of heavy fabricators as well as a deal with diverse range of on-the-job challenges.

An experienced fabricator with a strong H&S bias, you will be a role model who can be relied upon to lead the team to keep things safely on track and to deliver high quality work.

**About you**

Ideally you are trade qualified in a mechanical engineering field, with a mixture of fitting, welding, maintenance and structural fabrication experience.

You will also have a solid working knowledge of the machines, tools and equipment used in a workshop environment and love being hands-on when required.

You have successfully trained and developed apprentices in the past, and really enjoy the opportunity to grow and develop your people.

Particular about how things are done, with a real drive to achieve high quality, precision outputs, you are motivated by a pride in your work and ownership of it.

Other skills and experience include:

- Excellent knowledge of all fabrication & welding disciplines.
- Ability to coordinate & liaise with customers & suppliers, addressing enquiries promptly and ensuring a high level of customer satisfaction is achieved.
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings.
- Experience meeting project timelines, budgets and deliverables.

You don’t want just a job, but a role where you are expected to think for yourself and make decisions. You want to be given the opportunity to grow your skills, be fairly rewarded for your talent and work for a team and a company you can be proud to be part of.

You are also someone who relishes being trusted to do what you do best - work smart, work safe, find solutions, and own what you do.

**About us**

The Kernohan team loves nothing more than a job well done. Happy customers and proud staff are a strong combination and we’re equally committed to both. We have an excellent reputation as an employer, one that genuinely cares about the people who are part of our team, no matter what role they are in.

Providing expert maintenance services to multiple industries has been a key part of our business since 1972. It can be a complex and risky job, and we stand by our commitment to deliver services safely, to the right standard, on budget and on time.

Our Nelson facilities are a great base from which to service both local and nationwide customers. With years of experience providing specialist maintenance services to nationwide customers, often in remote and hostile locations, we’ve had ample opportunity to refine our skills in mobilising people and plant. And now you can be part of all of this

**How to apply**

Only applicants with an existing legal right to work in New Zealand will be considered for this role.
