Step Into a Career-Defining QA Role in Geothermal Energy

Are you a hands-on mechanical tradesperson or technician ready to move off the tools and into a quality-focused role?

This is your opportunity to join one of New Zealand’s largest geothermal power developments near Taupō, supporting the construction and commissioning of a nationally significant renewable energy project.

The Opportunity

As part of the site-based project team, you’ll play a key role in managing and supporting the mechanical quality assurance (QA) process across all stages of construction.
This role blends inspection, documentation, coordination, and client interaction — perfect for someone with a mechanical background looking to step into QA or project engineering.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Review and manage QA documentation — ITPs, ITRs, calibration and installation records, inspection and welding reports

  • Carry out regular site inspections to ensure mechanical works meet drawings, codes, and specifications

  • Support completion walkdowns and punchlist reviews with the client and project team

  • Tagging and system identification during mechanical completion and handover

  • Track, resolve, and help close out NCRs (non-conformance reports) with engineers and contractors

  • Assist with materials receiving, traceability, and record-keeping

  • Prepare and submit QA close-out packages for client and regulatory sign-off

  • Contribute to process improvements, problem-solving, and uphold strong HSE standards

About You

You’ll likely come from a practical mechanical background such as:

  • Mechanical fitting, fabrication, welding, NDT, or inspection

  • Experience in power, industrial, or plant environments — e.g. pumps, pressure vessels, pipework, or heat exchangers

You’ll also bring:

  • Familiarity with QA and inspection documentation (ITPs, ITRs, NCRs, weld reports)

  • Strong attention to detail and an organised, methodical approach

  • Confident computer skills (Word, Excel) and ability to pick up QA software

  • Great communication and teamwork skills

  • A valid NZ driver’s licence and a strong safety mindset

Recent mechanical diploma/degree graduates with site experience are also encouraged to apply.

What This Role Can Offer You:

  • Step away from the tools into a rewarding QA-focused career

  • Build experience on major renewable and industrial projects

  • Structured mentoring and long-term development opportunities

  • Competitive salary, job security, and clear progression

If you’re ready to take the next step in your mechanical career and be part of a high-impact project, this is the perfect opportunity to make your move.
