About PFS:

PFS operates in a fast paced, innovative space. We are small enough that you will make a real difference but big enough to take on interesting jobs. We specialise in tackling the challenging projects, the ones that people say cannot be done, because of time frame, complexity or just pure volume of work. We get stuck in and get things done.

We are leaders in our field and are super proud of our people and achievements. Our vision is to be the brand of choice and PFS provides specialist expertise in design, manufacture, installation, and maintenance. Health & Safety is of paramount importance and critical to the success of any project delivered by PFS.

All candidates must have the right to live and work in NZ.
