We are building a new Museum for Waitaha Canterbury – a world-class facility for the taonga (treasures) we care for and a place to tell the stories of our region and the people who live here.

We now have the opportunity for an experienced technician or carpenter to join our team in a part time (16 hours a week) fixed term role for 6 months. Focusing on assisting with the conservation of complex collection objects for display, you will assist by sharing your specialist knowledge and providing bespoke solutions for each object.

This is a hands-on role requiring a knowledge of conservation/restoration, metal fabrication and carpentry. Experience operating workshop machinery, as well as interpreting and documenting technical drawings, is required. Some heavy lifting is required so a good level of physical fitness is essential.

To find out more about these positions and how to apply please visit the Working at the Museum page on our website www.canterburymuseum.com

Applications must be in the specified format to be accepted. Applications close at 5.00 pm on Sunday 27 April 2025.
