About Us
Bleeker & Weith Engineering is a well-established, locally owned South Canterbury engineering business with a strong reputation for quality fabrication, installation, maintenance, and project work across industrial and commercial environments.
With a team of approximately 30 engineers and tradespeople, we are known for practical problem-solving, strong workmanship, and a professional but down-to-earth culture. Our work is varied, technically interesting, and supported by experienced leadership, organised systems, and a strong workflow structure.
We are currently looking for a qualified Engineering Tradesperson to join our team in a permanent, full-time position.
About the Role
This position is ideal for someone who enjoys a mix of workshop, project, shutdown, and site-based work rather than repetitive production-only environments.

- Strong practical fabrication and engineering capability
- Experience across both workshop and site environments
- The ability to work independently with minimal supervision
- Good understanding of engineering drawings and fabrication processes
- Strong commitment to quality workmanship and safe work practices
- Full driver licence
- Good communication and teamwork skills
Preferred but not essential:- Stainless fabrication experience
- Pipework experience
- Shutdown/project work experience
- TIG welding capability
- Site installation experience
In return, we can offer:- Permanent full-time employment with steady workflow
- Competitive remuneration based on skills and experience
- Overtime rates and additional hours available when required
- Good employee benefits package including allowances and health insurance
- Varied engineering work across workshop and site environments
- Exposure to industrial, shutdown, and project-based work
- A strong team of experienced tradespeople and practical leadership
- Organised systems and structured workflow
- Supportive team environment without excessive bureaucracy or micromanagement
- Stable long-term opportunity with a business continuing to grow and invest in its people
If you're a qualified tradesperson looking for stable work, technical variety, and a team that values quality workmanship and good people, we'd like to hear from you.
