About the role
We’re on the lookout for a hands-on, can-do Field Technician to join our team for the winter maintenance season. With thousands of networking towers across New Zealand supporting our awesome Halter farmers, your mission will be to help keep them running smoothly - especially when our farmers need them most.
This role is all about getting out there: you’ll be travelling across multiple regions to carry out both reactive (time-critical) and pre-emptive maintenance. The main focus? Replacing batteries in our tower fleet to ensure our network stays reliable throughout the winter months.
You'll be working closely with our dedicated fleet team and directly supporting the farmers who rely on our towers every day. If you enjoy being on the move, solving problems on the fly, and making a real difference in rural communities, this could be the role for you.
Contract role: This role is a fixed-term contract (40 hours per week) for roughly 3 to 4 months.
Location: This role can be located anywhere in the Waikato/Taupo/Palmerston North/Taranaki/Christchurch/Timaru/Otago regions. Frequent travel is required across New Zealand for this role.
Who are we looking for
- A hands-on attitude
- Ability to work independently and manage time efficiently
- Willingness to travel (full driver's license needed)
- Basic technical skills – experience with battery replacements or electrical work is a bonus but not required.
- Flexibility to respond to urgent maintenance jobs, sometimes at short notice
What your day could look like
- Travel across multiple regions to service and maintain tower infrastructure
- Replace batteries in tower as part of a winter upgrade program
- Respond to reactive, time-critical maintenance issues to minimise downtime
- Work closely with the fleet operations team to coordinate jobs and logistics
- Engage with farmers to ensure service expectations are met
- Accurately record work completed and report any faults or risks identified
- Adhere to all health and safety protocols while working in the field

Our Office First Approach
There’s a reason you visit your friends in person, live with your family and don’t do dinners over Zoom. Humans are wired for connection. We believe a world-class, in-person office culture is the best way for high-performing teams.
Being office first is a core pillar of our culture. We believe in-person connections are key to driving your own growth, learning, impact, and building genuine long-lasting relationships. Strong relationships make it easier to disagree, give feedback, and do meaningful and aligned work. We don’t like having heaps of rules or policies, but this means having strong, trusted relationships is critical.
Our office vibe is something special, it’s hard to describe until you’re here, but people at Halter who have come from fully remote or hybrid companies say they could never go back - the high energy and spectacular people they are now surrounded by everyday makes work so enjoyable. Your growth, your learning and your impact is truly unlimited here, and a big part of that comes from being together solving problems, innovating, building context, and constantly learning from each other.
