Manawatu, New Zealand Ruapehu Alpine Lifts Full time

JobID: 161876 Department: Maintenance Listed: October 11, 2024

The Whakapapa whanau are a small but ambitious team, running year-round operations on the northern slopes of Mt Ruapehu. In winter, from June until October, this includes a world-class ski area. In summer, from December until April, this includes our summer sightseeing operation, heroing our iconic Sky Waka gondola. Each year we welcome hundreds of thousands of manuhiri (guests) to Whakapapa, many with life-long connections to the maunga (mountain) and surrounding region, some even third or fourth generation.
Mo te tunga | About the role
Lift Mechanics are responsible for the operation and maintenance of the ski area lifts, as well as the additional equipment and systems that contribute toward our ability to move and transport our guests up the mountain terrain.
Key responsibilities include:

Daily lift servicing and pre-start checks
Scheduled maintenance and repairs
Troubleshooting and problem solving
Strip down and rebuild servicing, overhauling and maintaining lift systems and components
Keep all lifts and associated components in optimum condition
Upgrading and replacing parts with new technology and systems

Nga pukenga me nga wheako ou | Your skills and experience
You don't need specific lift mechanic experience to be successful in this role and we're looking for people with a trade background that can transfer their skills to the ski industry. Ideally, you'll bring a mix of the following skills, qualifications and attributes:

Trade qualification; diesel, petrol, marine, avionics or engineering
Previous lift maintenance or lift operating experience is an added bonus
Experience working at heights, including the use of relevant abseil and safety equipment
Broad knowledge of maintenance-related skills
The ability to take the initiative and work unsupervised when required
The ability to effectively organise and manage a range of priorities

We recognise that our industry is pretty specialised so you don't need to prove that you meet the criteria 100%. If you have the attitude and willingness to learn, an aptitude for the technical aspects of the role, and pride yourself on quality work and safe work practices then we want to hear from you.
Nga ahuatanga kei a matou | What we offer
Gear up for the ultimate work adventure at Whakapapa. Joining Whakapapa unlocks a number of perks:

A complimentary season pass for skiing and / or snowboarding, and access to day pass discounts for friends and family
Free beginner and intermediate group lessons. Don't have equipment? You'll receive discounts on that too
Exclusive food and beverage, and retail discounts, for use in Whakapapa's cafes and store
Guaranteed base hours for all full-time and part-time staff
Priority access and discounts to our on-mountain medical centre services

Your Whakapapa whanau experience is not just a job: you will build lifelong memories and experiences in one of the most beautiful and culturally significant places on earth
Remuneration range – $26 - $42 per hour depending on experience.

** Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet approximately 60% of criteria, women and those in underrepresented groups tend to only apply when they check every box. If you think you have what it takes for this role but maybe you don't meet every single bullet point above, we encourage you to get in touch. We'd love to hear from you and see if you could be a great fit for our whanau.
