Mechanical QA Supervisor

Are you a mechanically skilled tradesperson or technician looking to transition into a QA-focused role?

Join a large-scale geothermal power project near Taupō, supporting the site construction and commissioning of one of New Zealand's most significant renewable developments.

Working as part of the site-based projects team, you'll take responsibility for supporting the mechanical quality assurance (QA) process across all stages of construction.

This hands-on role combines documentation, inspection, and coordination - ideal for someone with a practical background looking to grow into site QA or project engineering.

Key responsibilities include:

• Reviewing and managing QA documentation including ITPs, ITRs, installation and calibration records, welding and inspection reports
• Conducting regular inspections during construction to ensure mechanical work meets drawings, specifications, and codes
• Supporting completion walkdowns and punchlist reviews with the client and project team
• Tagging and system identification during mechanical completion and turnover
• Tracking and resolving NCRs (non-conformance reports), collaborating with engineers and contractors to close out issues
• Assisting with materials receiving, traceability, and record-keeping
• Preparing and submitting final QA packages for client and regulatory approval
• Contributing to problem-solving, process improvements, and maintaining strong HSE standards

You'll likely come from a practical mechanical background such as:

• Mechanical fitting, fabrication, welding, NDT, or inspection
• Experience with plant, power, or industrial environments - e.g. pipework, pumps, pressure vessels, or heat exchangers

You'll also bring:

• Good understanding of QA/inspection records and documentation (ITP, ITR, NCR, welding records)
• Strong attention to detail and an organised, methodical approach
• Sound computer skills (Word, Excel) and ability to learn project QA systems
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills
• A valid NZ driver's licence and commitment to safe work practices

Recent mechanical diploma/degree graduates with site experience are also encouraged to apply.

• Step away from the tools into a career-building QA position
• Gain exposure to major renewable energy and industrial construction projects
• Structured mentoring and long-term career development
• Competitive salary with stability and progression in a respected project environment
