Job Description

About the Role

Looking for an experienced Senior Technician to lead ICT structured cabling and network equipment installs on-site across Auckland. You’ll take the lead role on jobs of varying size — installing, commissioning and troubleshooting equipment such as servers, switches, Wi-Fi access points, IP phones and display screens, alongside the structured cabling that connects it all. You’ll take ownership of quality from first fix through to sign-off, be the most senior technician that the junior staff see day to day, resolve the complex faults others can’t, mentor apprentices and junior/intermediate technicians, and build the client relationships that keep GVC’s reputation strong on site.

You’ll report to a Project Manager as your formal line manager and take day-to-day direction on-site from whichever Senior Technician or Field Manager is leading the job.

 

Key Responsibilities

Lead install teams on jobs of varying size, including planning how the work is carried out on-site

Install, commission and troubleshoot network equipment (servers, switches, Wi-Fi access points, IP phones, display screens) and resolve complex cabling and network faults independently

Deliver toolbox talks, enforce site safety standards and escalate any genuine health & safety risks immediately

Liaise directly with clients and keep internal and external project stakeholders updated

Escalate any variation requests to your supervisor before proceeding on-site

Mentor and direct the day-to-day work of apprentices, junior technicians and intermediate technicians on-site

Sign off completed work and provide accurate as-built markups to project managers and the documentation team

Act as a point of escalation alongside Field Managers for on-site issues others can’t resolve

Maintain time and material records across the jobs and technicians you’re leading, and be available to work overtime as required
