• Audit and maintain on-board operational equipment (e.g., hoses, pumps, pressure systems).
• Identify and report faults or wear-and-tear before they become issues.
• Keep maintenance records and checklists up to date.
• Liaise with external mechanics, compliance inspectors, and the wider operations team.
• Ensure vehicles and equipment meet NZTA compliance and safety standards.

• Confident working independently, with excellent attention to detail.
• Good communicator with a “can-do” attitude.
• Comfortable using checklists and basic digital records.
