We’re looking for 3 passionate and driven Operators to join us in this exciting new chapter.

• Receiving hands-on training to grow your skills and advance your career
• Supporting continuous production and contributing to operational excellence
• Working within a rotating 12-hour, 4-shift pattern, with occasional overtime to meet demand

What We’re Looking For

We’re building a team that’s ready to shape the future of steel. You’ll thrive here if you bring:

• A positive, proactive attitude and a passion for learning
• A technical mindset or experience with heavy machinery (we’ll train you if you’re new!)
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• A collaborative spirit – teamwork is everything in this environment
• Basic computer literacy to support modern operations

Why Join Us?

This is more than just a job — it’s a chance to be part of a once-in-a-generation transformation. The EAF project is a major step toward reducing carbon emissions and creating a more sustainable steel industry in New Zealand.
