Most of what leaves our site will never be seen again - and that's the point. Our pipes go into the ground right across New Zealand and quietly do their job for the next hundred years. Getting it right the first time takes skill, focus, and a crew that cares about the standard of what they make.
We're after Production Technicians to join the crew at our Pokeno site. It's honest, hands-on work for someone who likes seeing a finished product at the end of the day, backs the people around them, and wants to build a real trade while they're at it.
Hynds is a family-owned New Zealand company that's been going since 1973, and today we're the country's biggest maker of reinforced concrete pipe and precast products. Manufacturing plants across the North and South Islands, branches nationwide, more than 800 people - and still run on a pretty simple idea: look after your people, do the right thing, and back each other. Pokeno is our largest precast concrete site, and one of the most advanced facilities of its kind in the world - and that is where you come in.
You'll report to the Production Manager and work as part of the team that turns steel and concrete into finished precast product. Mould set-up, reinforcement, casting, finishing, stripping and QC - you'll move across all of it, and no two days will look quite the same.
Keep everyone safe - live the basics: 5S, safe lifting and loading, tidy work areas, and speaking up the moment something looks off.
Build the moulds - set up formwork and moulds to the drawings, square and solid, ready to pour.
Cast and pour - place reinforcement cages and get concrete into the mould to spec.
Strip and finish - once it's cured, strip, ramp, mark and tidy the finished product to standard.
Check the work - run your QC, complete the paperwork properly, and sort non-conformances then and there.
Keep improving - bring ideas to pre-starts and toolbox talks and pick up new skills across the site as you go.
What you'll bring
