The facility is home to a classics and custom vehicle operation the likes of which New Zealand has never seen. You will work alongside the designers, other highly skilled craftsmen, and the owners and employers of the wider business operations.

The rare classic vintage nears completion. Next is the custom American Pro Touring vehicle with no less than 1000hp; this one went through an elite restoration and custom modification. A rare vintage motorcycle sits on the stand, and right in the middle of the facility is a jaw dropping restoration/rebuild underway.

There are many more rare and exotic vehicles in this extensive collection at other locations that you will visit and all need maintenance to retain their value. All this and more occurs in this remarkable facility and other sites owned by this unique operation.

Such is sensitivity of this special vehicle operation its specific Auckland location will not be disclosed in first communications. Our client’s vehicle operations are unknown, and this rare and enticing opportunity will be disclosed only to a final shortlisted applicant.

The facility is as impressive and unique as the most elite vehicle operations in New Zealand and will soon be expanded further.

**The skills and attributes we are seeking are also not the norm**
Securing this role will find you providing a **very special service**. Your skills as a craftsman, of course, need to be to the highest standards.

The relationship will be very different from most employment scenarios and you will work towards being a trusted confidant and valued team member.

Skills required are at upper craftsman’s levels. Specific focus is on vehicle fabrication, panel beating, and performance vehicle maintenance and repair.

You will be undertaking restorations, fabrication, rebuilds, involved in high end repowering and work on vintage British and American modified customs that comprise an extensive collection, the likes of which most New Zealanders have never seen.
- High level mechanical knowledge is also required and other skills in the automotive market being brought to the table would also be helpful

- Can work autonomously
- Understanding of modern power plants such as LS, Ford, powered engines, rotaries, and more
- Ability to maintain a model working environment with impeccable standards
- Current passport and driver’s license
- No criminal convictions
- **References and photographic examples showing high quality work you have been involved in are a must**

Apart from the obvious on tools part of the role, you will also be involved in planning, sourcing parts, and negotiations, as well as organising insurances, compliance certification, WOF, and repairs

We are looking for a warm, down to earth person. This is not a role that will suit an impatient, abrupt, or argumentative personality or a prima donna. You will want to be the person who provides a service and is able to impress not only with the quality of workmanship but so too the work ethic to ensure the employer gains exceptional service and productivity.

**What’s in it for you?**
While the work environs are unique in themselves, it is entirely likely you could find yourself visiting unique locations during your employment. Become indispensable and discover the reward for being so.

Long term, the fringe benefits are extensive - there is a reason you need a current passport.
