Who are we looking for?

These are hands-on, ‘roll up your sleeves’ type jobs for people who can muck in and deliver high quality work to tight deadlines.

We’re also keen to hear from Jacks and Jills of all trades: people who can pick up hand tools or power tools, handle themselves around chemicals, take direction well and are comfortable getting stuck into whatever labour-intensive job we throw at them!

Wētā Workshop is a health and safety-focused workplace, you'll need to have a high level of health and safety awareness too.

I'm keen! What do I do now?

Click "Join our Talent Pool" to submit your expression of interest.

Please include a portfolio of some examples of your work (ideally include a link, so your portfolio is always up to date - otherwise you can upload a PDF or include with your CV)

All expressions of interest will be reviewed - we'll be in touch when we have a role that matches your skills and experience.

You may not hear from us for a while, as our projects vary and the types of skills we need depend on the work we have on.

We'll also be back in touch if we don't feel like the work we do is a great match for your skills/experience.

Please note - this is an expression of interest in potential future roles, not an open vacancy.
