The Whakapapa whānau 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.
- Mō te tūnga | About the role_

- 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

- Ngā pūkenga me ngā wheako ōu | 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:

- 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.
