Job Position: Work in New Zealand as a Diesel Mechanic | Visa Sponsorship Available
Company: Cardrona Alpine Resort
Salary: From $35 an hour
Location: Wanaka, Otago, New Zealand
At Cardrona, we’re famous for legendary skiing and snowboarding experiences. But none of that happens without a fleet of perfectly maintained machines. We’re looking for a Qualified Diesel Mechanic to join our team year-round to keep our grooming fleet and resort vehicles in peak condition.
If you’re a mechanic who would rather spend your lunch break looking at the Southern Alps than a parking lot, this is the spot for you.
What You’ll Be Doing
Reporting to the Lead Mechanic, you’ll be the backbone of our winter and summer operations. Your day-to-day will involve:
- The Big Stuff: Maintenance and repair of our grooming machines (specifically Kassbohrer and Prinoth models).
- Deep Tech: Troubleshooting hydraulics, hydrostatic drive systems, and electrical systems (12V & 24V), including CAN bus diagnostics.
- Resort Fleet: Keeping our 4WDs, facilities, and plant equipment running smoothly.
- Smart Maintenance: Following planned maintenance schedules, conducting oil sampling, and keeping our digital logs (Excel/Word/Snowsat) up to date.
What We’re Looking For
- The Paperwork: You’re a Qualified Diesel Mechanic (or have a relevant mechanical/engineering trade qualification).
- The Know-How: You have hands-on experience with groomers (Kassbohrer/Prinoth) and understand hydrostatic drives.
- The Tools: Welding and fabrication skills are a huge plus!
- On the Road: You’ll need a Class 1 license. If you have Class 2 or W, T, & R endorsements, even better.
- The Mindset: You’re a problem solver who takes pride in high-quality work and doesn’t mind the mountain environment.
Why You’ll Love Working With Us
This is arguably one of the best “office” views in the world. Plus:
- Visa Support: We offer Visa Sponsorship for the right qualified candidate.
- Mountain Perks: You get a season pass and great discounts at both Cardrona and Treble Cone.
- The RealNZ Experience: Bring a friend along for free (or at a massive discount) on adventures like rafting, the Te Anau Glowworm Caves, and cruises through Milford and Doubtful Sound.
- Stability: This is a permanent, 40-hour-a-week role, not just a seasonal gig.
