UV Service Technician

Making Water Safer

With branches across Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin, FILTEC proudly leads New Zealand's water treatment sector. For more than 30 years, we have designed, built, and serviced hundreds of treatment plants across the country. As regulatory change accelerates and new technologies reshape the industry, there has never been a better time to join a team that is growing quickly and setting new standards in water quality and safety.

We are expanding our UV service capability and are seeking a skilled Industrial Electrician to join our dedicated UV team. This role supports a wide range of municipal and industrial clients, including work on some of the largest UV treatment assets in New Zealand.

Over time, you will develop deep technical expertise in advanced UV disinfection systems and take increasing ownership of planned and reactive maintenance activities.

The role involves regular travel across Auckland and the wider region. From time to time, you may also be required to travel nationally to support FILTEC service projects as operational needs arise.

You must be comfortable working autonomously once trained and confident operating safely in a range of treatment plant and industrial environments.

• Maintain clear and accurate service reports, parts requirements, and system documentation.
• Follow strict HSQE procedures including lock out tag out, UV safety practices, electrical safety standards, and site specific protocols.

What You Will Bring

• New Zealand Registered Industrial Electrician with a current EWRB practising licence.
• Experience with industrial maintenance, electrical plant, automation, or instrumentation.
• Strong diagnostic ability and confidence working with control panels, PLC interfaces, electrical isolation, and safety systems.
• A positive attitude toward learning specialist UV technology. Full training is provided.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work directly with customers.
• A valid NZ driver licence and a clean driving record.
