Rakon is a global high-technology company, a New Zealand success story, and a world leader in its field. We design and manufacture advanced frequency control and timing solutions used in telecommunications, global positioning, aerospace, and defence applications.


We're looking for Production Operators to join our manufacturing team on either our AM shift (7:00am - 3:30pm), PM shift (3:30pm - 12:00am) or GY shift (12:00am - 7:00am). These roles operate on a 5-day roster across 7 days and include weekend work.


Working in a cleanroom environment, you'll play an important role in the manufacture of precision electronic components. Your day-to-day tasks may include operating and monitoring equipment, inspecting components under microscopes, conducting quality checks, performing etching and plating processes, wire bonding, and completing computer-based production activities.


This role is ideal for someone who takes pride in producing high-quality work, has strong attention to detail, and enjoys working as part of a collaborative, high-performing team.


We'd love to hear from people who have:


  • Previous experience in a manufacturing or production environment, ideally within a technical or electronics-based industry
  • Experience working in a cleanroom environment (preferred but not essential)
  • The ability to read and follow detailed work instructions in English
  • Excellent attention to detail and strong fine motor skills
  • Good time management skills and a reliable attendance record
  • Strong numeracy and problem-solving skills
  • Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively within a team
  • Basic computer literacy



You'll need to be adaptable, quick to learn, and willing to be trained across different production areas. Our recruitment process includes numeracy and literacy assessments, as well as a practical skills assessment.


At Rakon, we value people who are curious, dependable, and committed to continuous improvement. If you're looking for an opportunity to build your career in advanced manufacturing, we'd love to hear from you.
