Making Water Safer
  
With branches in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin, the FILTEC team collectively Make Water Safer by designing, installing, and maintaining treatment systems. With over 30 years of experience building and servicing hundreds of water treatment plants, we service both the public and private sectors throughout New Zealand, making us the most capable company in the sector. As the rollout of new technologies and water sector regulation gains momentum, it's the perfect time to join our family.
  
As part of this role, you’ll gain specialist experience maintaining and optimising ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems — an increasingly vital technology for ensuring safe, compliant, and sustainable drinking water. You’ll work with industry-leading UV reactors, learning to diagnose performance issues, service key components, and ensure reliable operation in line with regulatory standards.
  
Working With The Best
  
Based in Wellington (or within a 30-minute to 1-hour drive), this role supports our Central Region, which spans from the top of the South Island through to halfway up the North Island, from New Plymouth across to Hawke's Bay, providing hands-on service and technical support to our customers across this area.
  
Travel within the region will be expected, and the position involves regular overnight stays in various locations. You will become increasingly autonomous as your skills and knowledge develop, and you must be comfortable working safely and unsupervised.
  
For the right candidate, this position could develop into a Team Lead role. This leadership position would not carry direct line management responsibilities but plays an integral role in shaping the strategic direction of the central service team.
  
Responsibilities:

• Install, service, and repair drinking water treatment systems, including filtration systems, disinfection equipment, ultraviolet (UV) reactors, pumps, valves, and other components.
• Conduct routine maintenance checks, inspections, and performance tests on water treatment systems and UV disinfection equipment to ensure optimal functionality and adherence to industry regulations.
• Troubleshoot system issues, identify root causes, and implement effective solutions in a timely manner.
• Collaborate with clients to understand their specific needs, provide technical advice, and offer recommendations for improving system performance and efficiency.
• Maintain accurate records of service activities, including equipment maintenance logs, service reports, and client communication.
• Stay up to date with industry advancements, best practices, and regulatory changes to provide informed technical support and ensure compliance with relevant standards.
• Strictly adhere to safety protocols and guidelines while working on-site to prevent accidents and promote a safe work environment.

  
Qualifications:  

• Proven experience as a Service Technician, preferably in the drinking water industry or a similar field.
• Electrical qualification (EST) preferred.
• Technical certification, trade, or degree in a related field is desirable but not essential.
• Strong knowledge of drinking water treatment systems, including various filtration methods, UV disinfection systems, and water quality parameters is desirable but not essential.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and a natural ability to troubleshoot.
• Exceptional customer service and communication skills.
• Valid driver's license and a clean driving record.

  
Benefits:  

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience.
• Ongoing training and professional development opportunities.
• Supportive and collaborative work environment.
• Company vehicle.
• Access to EAP for health and wellbeing support.
