We take pride in using the right techniques for every surface and delivering quality results that protect property longevity while keeping buildings and outdoor areas looking their best.

The Role

We are looking for a physically fit, safety-conscious and self-motivated Technician to join our Christchurch team.

This is a hands-on outdoor role delivering high-quality waterblasting and exterior cleaning across a variety of sites. A key part of the role is working at heights, including on ladders, elevated work platforms and roofs. Applicants must be genuinely comfortable working at heights regularly.

  • Complete steam cleaning, treatment applications and restoration cleaning
  • Set up, pack down and maintain equipment
  • Regularly work at heights using ladders, EWPs and other height-access equipment

  • Deliver great customer service and take pride in the detail and quality of every job
  • Work occasional early mornings, evenings and weekends when required

What we’re looking for:

  • Physically fit, injury-free and capable of strenuous outdoor work
  • Genuinely comfortable working at heights
  • Strong attention to detail and pride in quality workmanship
  • A strong commitment to working safely
  • Mechanical aptitude and confidence operating equipment
  • Reliable, positive and able to work well as part of a team
  • Permanent, unrestricted right to work in New Zealand
  • Current full, clean New Zealand driver’s licence
  • Able to pass a pre-employment drug test and Ministry of Justice check

Ideal, but not essential:

  • Construction or building industry experience
  • Site Safe Passport
  • EWP Operator certification
  • Advanced height safety training
  • Exterior cleaning or waterblasting experience

What we provide:

  • Competitive hourly rate of $25–$35, depending on skills and experience
  • Guaranteed minimum of 30 hours per week, with opportunities for additional hours
  • Stable, year-round work across Christchurch and Canterbury
  • PPE, uniform and quality equipment provided
  • Training in professional exterior cleaning, safe work practices and equipment operation
  • The opportunity to develop practical technical skills in a growing industry
  • A supportive, safety-focused team that values quality, teamwork and professionalism
