I enjoy working with my hands and being outdoors. There is somewhere new to go every day and you get to experience some amazing scenery that otherwise you never would have encountered. The work is always varied where one day you might be in a bucket truck at the top of a pole or operating a digger and the next you could be riding in a helicopter on a fault-finding mission. I enjoy working alongside a great bunch of people who are always looking out for each other. Network Waitaki really values and looks after their people.
