TLC seeks three new trainee line mechanics

15 October 2025

The Lines Company (TLC) is excited to announce the opening of applications for our next intake of Trainee Line Mechanics.

We want local talent—recent school leavers, graduates or those seeking a hands-on, community-focused career—to consider a future with TLC. We are recruiting three new trainee line mechanics: two positions based in and around Taumarunui, and one in the Ohakune area.

Successful applicants will have the opportunity to learn from experienced professionals, develop valuable skills and contribute directly to the communities in which they live and work. TLC is committed to fostering a supportive environment where trainees can thrive; we offer excellent training, career development and a strong sense of team spirit.

TLC chief executive Mike Fox said the company “unashamedly” wants to hire locals as line mechanic trainees, as well as into other roles.

“We’re looking for passionate, motivated individuals who enjoy working outdoors, value teamwork and want to make a positive impact in their community,” said Fox. “Our trainee program is the perfect launchpad for a rewarding career with TLC.”

Applications are now open and will close on Monday 10 November 2025. For more information and to apply, visit our careers page: https://www.thelinescompany.co.nz/about-us/work-for-us/

Applicants must live locally to where they work. TLC is an equal opportunity employer.
