If You’re Into Tech, This One’s for You!

At EmployMe Solutions, we connect great people with great employers — and this time, we’ve got something seriously cool for the tech-heads out there. If your happy place is under a bonnet with a scan tool in hand and a fault code to decode, we need to talk.

We’re working with a busy, high-tech dealership workshop in Christchurch, and they’re on the hunt for a Diagnostic Technician. Not a general mechanic, not a tyre kicker — they’re after the go-to problem-solver. The one in the workshop everyone calls when the warning lights won’t go away. Sound like you? Read on.new

What You’ll Actually Be Doing:
  • Diagnosing all those annoying faults no one else wants to deal with
  • Using the latest factory scan tools and diagnostic gear (no guesswork here)
  • Solving electrical and electronic gremlins like the wizard you are
  • Staying up to speed with factory training and bulletins
  • Being the calm, collected tech hero in a fast-moving team
What We’re Looking For:
  • NZ Level 4 Automotive Tech qualification (or similar)
  • At least 5 years on the tools - ideally with solid dealership or diagnostic experience
  • You're the one others turn to when the scan tool spits out a confusing code
  • A sharp mind, a steady hand, and a clean driver’s licence
What’s In It for You:
  • Above market rates of $38 - $40 per hour plus overtime if you want it
  • Full-time, permanent role – 40 hours plus
  • No general mechanical repairs – this role is all diagnostics, all the time
  • A modern workshop with all the fancy toys
  • Ongoing training to keep you sharp
  • A supportive, close-knit crew who actually get along
  • Career progression if you want to climb the ladder
  • And did we mention added employee benefits?
This role WILL NOT suit:
  • You're more into oil changes 
  • Fault codes make you panic instead of pumped
  • You prefer to work solo and avoid a good laugh with the team
  • You’re not keen on growing, upskilling, or thinking ahead
  • The idea of earning great money while doing challenging, satisfying work somehow doesn’t appeal
Why Christchurch?
Imagine living somewhere where you can ski in the morning and hit the beach by afternoon. That’s Christchurch. Affordable living, epic outdoor adventures, and a fast-growing city that still knows how to breathe. Less traffic, more lifestyle.

Ready to Make a Move?
If you’re ready for a gig where your brain is more important than your biceps, and your skills actually get noticed – we’d love to chat. Flick your CV to joann@employmesolutions.com Or give us a bell on 0800 369 777 or 027 777 2979 (Jo-Ann direct) We’ll come back to you within 24 business hours – because no one likes being ghosted.
