From hands-on production and assembly to cutting edge research, from massive machines and busy production lines, to individual crafts or computer design, this sector covers a range of options. You’ll be working indoors most of the time, with tools, machinery and equipment, or maybe a computer. You might be fabricating, installing, fixing or maintaining systems, or doing a job involving lots of thinking, planning or making lots of calculations.
There’s a mixture of skilled jobs across the sector. In the engineering industry in particular, people have the highest job satisfaction of all jobs. This sector is a big employer – the second largest in New Zealand. It is also a big earner for the New Zealand economy, making up almost half of all the country’s export income. It is a sector the government has identified as a priority area for growth.
