YOUR FUTURE IN AUTOMOTIVE

SO WHAT WOULD I DO ALL DAY?That depends on the Automotive direction you choose to follow.

AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRICIANS take care of electrical

wiring and electrical and electronic systems in

vehicles and marine equipment. Your day could

go from discussing faults with customers, to

using diagnostic equipment to locate electrical

and electronic faults, to repairing or replacing

electronic systems such as engine management,

air conditioning, ABS brakes, air bags, electronically

controlled gearboxes and vehicle computers.

You could also be installing security systems, auto

entertainment systems and carrying out vehicle

engine tune-ups.

So everytime you take a corner you hear the

annoying rattle? If you’re the type of person who

would dismantle an engine, locate the problem,

fix it, and then rebuild it, chances are you’re the

type of person who would enjoy a future as an

AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEER. Your days will be spent

in a garage or workshop environment where you’ll

diagnose faults in vehicles, dismantle engines and

other parts, repair or replace where necessary, put

everything back together and make sure the vehicle

is running smoothly.

Keen on the big machines? Then working as a

HEAVY EQUIPMENT AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEER

servicing trucks, buses, bulldozers and tractors

may be the road for you. You’ll be based in a

workshop but will probably also be required to

repair machinery on-site. Your day could include

diagnosing vehicle faults, dismantling, repairing

and rebuilding engines and other parts, ordering

replacement parts, servicing heavy automotive

equipment and ensuring hazardous waste is

disposed of appropriately.

Taking a vehicle that’s been knocked out of shape

and making it like new again is the art of the

PANELBEATER. Using heavy equipment you’ll

align and reshape damaged vehicle panels, before

sanding and preparing the panels and parts for

spray painting.

As a SPRAY PAINTER, you’ll mix and match paints,

undertake body preperation and spray painting and

refinish the vehicle to make it look good.

If pulling cars apart is your idea of heaven then

AUTOMOTIVE DISMANTLER could well be your

dream job description. As an Automotive Dismantler

you’ll work in a garage, workshop or car-wrecking

yard taking apart second-hand vehicles, assessing

vehicle values, and buying and selling vehicle parts.

You could also get out and about throughout the day

picking up or delivering parts or vehicles.

YOUR FUTURE IN BUILDING DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

SO WHAT WOULD I DO ALL DAY?That depends on the area that captures your interest.

As a CARPENTER or BUILDER you work on-site,

building, repairing and installing structures

including foundations, walls, roofs, windows and

doors. Working as a Carpenter your role could see

you interpreting building plans and architectural

drawings, selecting materials, measuring and

cutting to size and shape, nailing, screwing or

gluing wood and various materials together,

removing and repairing parts, installing windows,

doors and staircases, and ensuring all completed

work is watertight.

If you enjoy detailed work and a workshop

environment a career as a JOINER could suit you

down to the ground. Joiners measure, cut, prepare

and assemble timber and timber board products

to make interior fittings such as kitchen cabinets,

doors, window frames and stairs. You may also be

required to work on-site measuring up and then

installing the finished products.

Organised, responsible, enjoy the construction

industry, get on well with people?… If that sounds like a

profile of you then a CONSTRUCTION SITE MANAGER

may well be the career you’re looking for. It’s a

career that offers plenty of variety and opportunity.

As the Site Manager you organise and supervise

manpower, supplies, timing, systems and quality

control for building and repairing roads, bridges,

buildings, tunnels, dams and wharves. Your role

could include consulting with building professionals,

local councils, architects and clients, studying

drawings and instructions, preparing estimates,

purchasing materials, hiring and training workers,

liaising with subcontractors, maintaining records

and ensuring construction meets all requirements.

As an ARCHITECTURAL TECHNICIAN your skills and

technical know-how transform vision into workable

design. Your days are spent planning, designing

and advising on the construction and alteration of

buildings. This could entail inspecting proposed

building sites, discussing ideas, local authority

requirements and constraints with clients, creating

designs and preparing drawings for houses and

other buildings, specifying materials, applying for

appropriate building and resource consents, and

overseeing a project to its conclusion.

Details can make or break a project, right? If you’re

someone who recognises the importance of detail

and accuracy, enjoys calculating quantity and cost,

and wants to be part of the construction industry,

then a career as a QUANTITY SURVEYOR could

be for you. As a Quantity Surveyor you calculate a

budget based on client requirements, then prepare

detailed estimates for each stage of construction

as the project develops. The role includes studying

building plans, measuring and estimating material

and labour costs, preparing feasibility studies,

managing payments for contractors and suppliers

and offering financial advice to clients.

YOUR FUTURE IN PLUMBING, GASFITTING AND ROOFING

SO WHAT WOULD I DO ALL DAY?That depends on the area that captures your interest.

PLUMBERS AND GASFITTERS assemble, install and

repair the pipes, fixtures and fittings that supply

water and gas to a property, and remove waste

from a property. Your day could involve studying

building plans and discussing client requirements,

installing or maintaining gas stoves, toilets, basins,

septic tanks, hot water, heating and air-conditioning

systems, measuring, cutting, shaping, joining and

installing pipes, laying drains and repairing damaged

water, sewerage and gas pipes.

Heights don’t faze you? Then neither will a career

as a ROOFER repairing and installing roofs. Your day

could include measuring up, estimating the amount

of materials required, selecting and attaching iron,

tiles, shingle or other roofing material, cutting iron

to size, installing spouting and downpipes, and if

you’re self-employed, preparing quotes and invoices.

YOUR FUTURE IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND FABRICATION

SO WHAT WOULD I DO ALL DAY?That depends on whether you follow the Engineering or Fabrication pathway.

As a MECHANICAL ENGINEER you’re the one

who designs and repairs the machines, and also

studies ways to improve manufacturing and energy

production. A day could involve determining the

production manager’s requirements, studying

environmental and safety aspects of planned

work, designing machines or machine parts, using

computer-aided design (CAD) software to model

plans, and supervising repair work on machines.

A WELDING FABRICATION ENGINEER makes,

joins and repairs metal parts for machinery and

equipment including motor bodies, trailer units,

containers, truck frames and bridges. Your day could

include studying plans and drawings, constructing

metal objects, cutting, bending and fitting metal

parts, making the jigs that hold parts in place for

welding and maintaining machinery.

A TECHNOLOGIST manages the development of

large scale mechanical infrastructure. You will be

out on the field, overseeing the project. There is a

real demand in New Zealand.

plans, and supervising repair work on machines.

“Having enjoyed the benefits of completing an apprenticeship myself, I now choose Stainless Design’s future apprentices through Wintec’s engineering pre-trades course. In addition we choose NDE graduates for both our Production and Design Centres. The relevance of the training curriculums to our business and the successful outcomes we continue to have, keeps us coming back for more year on year.”
