Agricultural Maintenance Welder

Our Rakaia-based client is a well-respected local engineering business specialising in agricultural maintenance, welding, and fabrication across Canterbury.

• Proven welding and fabrication experience
• Experience with flux core and solid wire welding
• Ability to read plans and work accurately
• Someone who can think for themselves, use initiative, and work with minimal supervision
• Full driver's licence
