Senior Gas Turbine Overhaul Technician

About the role

As a Senior Gas Turbine Overhaul Technician, you'll play a key role in shaping workshop standards, developing technical capability and influencing how our overhaul operations evolve as the business grows.

Working alongside experienced turbine specialists in Canada, New Zealand and Australia, you’ll provide technical leadership on the workshop floor while remaining actively involved in the hands-on overhaul, inspection, assembly and testing of GE LM2500 gas turbine engines and modules.

This is a role for someone who enjoys solving complex technical problems, maintaining exceptionally high standards and helping less experienced technicians develop their skills. Your expertise, judgement and leadership will help set the standard for quality, safety and technical excellence as we build a world-class capability supporting global customers.

About Maddex Turbine Services

Maddex Turbine Services is part of Rotation Group, providing gas turbine overhaul, repair and field services across New Zealand, Australia and Canada.

The best time to join a company is just before everyone else realises they should have. The AI boom has turned electricity into the defining constraint of the digital economy, and the aeroderivative gas turbine - led by GE’s LM2500 - has become the engine of choice for fast, reliable power. Demand is running years ahead of what the industry can build, and every engine in service needs a specialist to keep it running.

We’ve spent years building for exactly this moment: three specialised sites, a purpose-built overhaul depot, a technical centre of excellence, and a team drawn from the world’s leading OEMs and operators. Now we’re scaling - and growing our team to match the opportunity ahead. The seats we’re filling now will define the company for the next decade.

At Rotation, we take responsibility, aim for excellence, and win as a team. We value people who bring initiative, accountability, and pride to their work.
