About Us

Norwood is a leading New Zealand agricultural and construction machinery provider, operating an extensive nationwide dealership network. We sell a wide range of premium machinery for both sectors and are dedicated to providing top-tier servicing to ensure the longevity and performance of our equipment.

Our commitment to New Zealand's agricultural and construction industries runs deep. We understand the pivotal role these sectors play in the country's economy and the livelihoods of its people. From ploughing fields and harvesting crops to tending to livestock and managing land, we recognise the diverse needs of our customers and strive to meet their expectations.

For over 75 years, we have been an integral part of New Zealand's agricultural landscape, contributing to its heritage and progress. In recent years, we have further solidified our position as a provider of world-class construction solutions, introducing innovative machinery and technologies to the market.

We are proud to have some of the most experienced people in our industry, including expertly trained technicians, sales, and parts teams that work together to keep New Zealand industry moving.

About the role

We're looking for a practically minded, reliable, and mechanically skilled individual to join our Christchurch team as an Assembly Technician. This is a varied role supporting the preparation and presentation of agricultural and construction machinery - including assembling new units, assisting with reconditioning used machinery, and helping out in the yard.

You don't need to be a qualified technician, but you will need solid mechanical ability, a great work ethic, and a keen eye for detail. You'll play a key role in helping our workshop and service team run smoothly, ensuring all equipment is ready for delivery, well-presented, and safe for use.

What you'll be doing:

  • Assembling new machinery and completing pre-delivery inspections (PDIs).
  • Reconditioning and preparing used machinery for resale or demonstration.
  • Supporting the workshop and service technicians with daily setup, movement, and equipment preparation.
  • Assisting with loading and unloading machinery, parts, and freight.
  • Maintaining a clean and safe yard, with efficient machinery layout and presentation.
  • Contributing to a safety-first culture and attending toolbox meetings.

What we're looking for:

  • Strong mechanical skills - either through experience or a trade background
  • Ability to read and follow technical instructions, service manuals, and assembly diagrams.
  • High attention to detail, time management, and a proactive approach to quality workmanship.
  • Great communication skills and a positive, can-do attitude.
  • Experience working in a workshop, yard, agricultural or machinery setting is a bonus.
  • A full driver's licence (and F endorsement or forklift licence is an advantage, but not essential).

What Norwood can offer you:

  • An attractive hourly rate and overtime after 40 hours per week
  • Additional benefits including Premier Health Business Cover with nib Insurance and comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme.
  • A practical and rewarding role in a supportive team environment.
  • Career advancement opportunities within our nationwide network of Dealerships and National Support Office.

You will be required to work a minimum of 40 hours per week within our core business days and hours of Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm.
