Line Mechanic

Connetics Canterbury, New Zealand Full-time

Thinking about a move to Christchurch? It's a good time to look. 

The city's growing fast. New suburbs, a new stadium, and more load on the network every year. All of it needs lines built, maintained, and put back up when the weather turns. That's you. 

We're looking for registered Line Mechanics, including Live Line certified. One day you'll drive under a line you built and know what's running off it. A dairy shed milking before dawn. A town's main street. The school, the hospital, the floodlights on a Saturday night. None of them will know your name, but all of them will be counting on your work. 

About Connetics 

We're Connetics: about 400 people, publicly owned, and independently run. We're based in Christchurch and Tawa, and our reach is nationwide – wherever we're needed. 

You'll get the high-spec gear and big projects of a major network contractor, without the corporate red tape. Our crews know each other by first name, look out for one another, and take real pride in the craft. And our leaders trust you to make the call on site. 

You'll join our Christchurch field team, building, repairing, and maintaining overhead lines across Canterbury and beyond. No two days are the same: planned maintenance one day, a major build the next, and a call-out when the weather turns. You'll also pass on what you know to the apprentices coming through behind you. 

It's all happening in Canterbury. Be part of it at Connetics. 


At Connetics, we build and maintain the networks our communities depend on, day and night. Around 400 people work across Christchurch and Tawa, with crews travelling wherever the mahi takes us. Public ownership and independent management give you long-term security in an industry with a future. You’ll get the gear and project range of a major network contractor, with less red tape. One day might mean a residential job; the next, a major build in the high country. Your crew will look out for you and make sure everyone goes home healthy and safe. Our leaders will know your name and trust you to make the call on the job. If you’re honest, love to get stuck in and want recognised training with room to move up or sideways, you can build a whole career here. We set a high bar, and we’ll help you reach it.
