Crown has a widely distributed sales and service branch network located across the North and South Island locations. Our global company brand is well-known and respected in the marketplace and is supported by a customer value proposition based on highly skilled staff, quality products, strong service and parts back-up and leading-edge technology.

Crown offers genuine career paths and development and career progression, with people in our business staying for up to 25 years and enjoying a varied career. For those coming into the business at an entry-level, we’re able to offer opportunities to start a career in Trade and/or Sales and more.
About the role
We have an exciting opportunity for you to join a stable business and enjoy the variety and opportunities of working within a close-knit, supportive team as part of a large (global) organisation and market leader.
This diverse role will see you based in Christchurch in Canterbury where you will become part of our team performing field-based or site-based repairs and maintenance on a large fleet of our Forklifts for customers across your assigned area and working through our well-equipped Workshop team. We have both mechanical battery electric and internal combustion Forklifts with a significant number of different models within the two categories giving you the opportunity to develop and increase your skills. And all whilst ensuring that we provide exceptional service to our customers - the greatest purpose of our teams is to work together with our customers and support them to keep their businesses on the go!
You’ll have the chance to learn our products, and this will give you the opportunity to progress in the business and the organisation. Crown product knowledge would be a real bonus, but we're known for providing great training material, if you’re a willing learner!
This is a permanent, full time role, working Mondays to Fridays with on-call duties and potential weekend overtime paid at time-and-a-half from 40 hours.
About you
We're looking for a practical, hands-on person with a genuine interest in the automotive industry.
Whether you're an experienced workshop mechanic, recently qualified, currently completing an apprenticeship, or simply someone with strong mechanical skills gained through working on your own vehicles, we'd like to hear from you.
You will be:
Mechanically minded and eager to learn
Able to diagnose and solve problems
Safety conscious with good attention to detail
Reliable, punctual, and team-oriented
Passionate about vehicles and machinery
If you've got the right attitude and a willingness to learn, we'll help you develop the rest.
The ability to build rapport and relationships should be one of your strengths as is your attention to detail and you’ll be IT savvy too. There will be manual handling required and so you’ll also need to be physically fit.
Please note, a full pre-employment medical, including a drug & alcohol test, as well as valid drivers’ license will be required.
What we offer
Great market-related hourly rate ($30-$42p/hr, depending on experience) with the chance to work additional hours at time-and-a-half after 40 hours plus rostered on-call
Great learning environment with real career development opportunities, including an initial seven-week service training program
Optional 4-day x 10-hour work schedule (conditions apply)
A strong and supportive team environment
Chance to work for a trusted supplier in the forklift industry!
