Job Description

Are you a mechanically minded go-getter looking for a hands-on role where no two days are the same? Hydraulink is on the lookout for a Sales & Service Technician to join our fast-paced Nelson team. This is your chance to take your mechanical skills on the road, build strong customer relationships, and be part of an industry leader known for getting the job done right, every time.

What You’ll Be Doing
This is a full-time, permanent role with a guaranteed 40 hours per week, and the opportunity to earn $32–$40/hour (depending on experience) plus the chance to boost your income through commission for developing new business and retaining loyal customers.

As a Sales and Service Technician, you’ll:

  • Deliver on-site hydraulic hose repairs, maintenance, and installations
  • Diagnose and fix issues quickly and accurately
  • Respond to breakdowns and urgent service calls across your region
  • Build strong relationships with customers and become their go-to expert
  • Identify and grow new business opportunities while servicing existing clients
  • Take part in our on-call service roster (extra pay applies)

What You’ll Need to Succeed
We’re after someone who’s just as comfortable with people as they are with machinery. You might be a tradie, mechanic, or fitter-welder looking for a more dynamic, mobile role.

You’ll bring:

  • A full, clean driver’s license
  • Strong mechanical know-how (automotive, mechanical, or similar)
  • Excellent customer service and communication skills
  • Ability to work independently and manage your own schedule
  • A keen eye for safety, detail, and quality work
  • Physical fitness to handle the job’s demands
  • Willingness to be part of the on-call roster

Bonus if you have:

  • Experience with hydraulic hoses or fittings
  • Trade qualifications in mechanical or automotive work
