Are you hands-on, organised and ready for a dynamic role in the safety and lifting industry? Steel & Tube, one of New Zealand’s leading steel solutions providers with over 70 years of Kiwi history, is looking for a Service Technician to join the Chain & Rigging team in Christchurch. Bring your positive attitude and customer focus to strengthen relationships and support business growth.

About the Role

As a Service Technician, you’ll take the wheel of our fully equipped mobile testing van and work directly with customers across Canterbury and surrounding districts. This customer-facing role combines hands-on technical work with proactive relationship building to maintain Steel & Tube’s strong presence in the region. You’ll operate the mobile workshop to test, certify, repair and maintain lifting and height safety equipment, while promoting our testing programme and wider product range.

You’ll plan regular customer visits using the service register, conduct on-site testing and repairs, keep lifting registers and customer data up to date, issue timely invoices and stock the van for immediate service and sales opportunities. The role includes 2–5 days of travel per month on a rotational basis (mainly scheduled maintenance), giving you variety while still being Christchurch-based. Every visit adds value through excellent service, compliance support and identifying opportunities to grow the Chain & Rigging business as part of the wider One Company offering.

Key Responsibilities

• Conducting on-site testing, certification, repairs and maintenance of lifting and height safety equipment
• Promoting the mobile testing programme to existing and new customers
• Managing customer schedules and registers to ensure regular face-to-face service and compliance
• Identifying sales opportunities and introducing the full Steel & Tube product range
• Maintaining accurate records, stock levels and issuing invoices promptly
• Delivering outstanding customer service while achieving individual targets
• Ensuring all work meets Health & Safety and quality standards

What We’re Looking For

• Mechanical or servicing experience is a real advantage, but we’re open to keen and eager candidates from other industries
• Top attitude – self-motivated, proactive and reliable with a willingness to learn
• Comfortable with regular travel (2–5 days per month on rotation)
• Strong customer service skills and the ability to build lasting relationships
• Some computer literacy for data entry, registers and basic systems (training provided)
• Good communicator who enjoys working independently and as part of a team

Why Join Steel & Tube?

We’re a proud New Zealand company offering a supportive, inclusive environment with comprehensive training and real career progression opportunities. Our Service Technicians often move into account management and beyond – we invest in your growth.

What’s in it for you?

• Fully equipped mobile testing van
• Full training and ongoing support
• Opportunities for career development
• Role with variety – technical work, customer relationships and travel
