Picture yourself driving through the lower North Island, with the cab of a 4WD Ute as your office and the farms of the Central Districts as your workspace. Levno is looking for a Field Technician to become the trusted face of our agritech business, supporting farmers and commercial clients from Waiouru down to Wellington. This isn’t a role where you’re chained to a desk it’s about being out in the field, installing smart hardware, troubleshooting on the fly, and helping Kiwi farmers run their operations more efficiently. If you’re practical, love solving problems with your hands, and enjoy the freedom of planning your own day, this could be the perfect fit.
About the Company
Levno is on a mission to transform the agriculture sector, one real-time insight at a time. We build world-leading on-farm monitoring technology that helps farmers and agribusinesses work smarter, not harder operating more sustainably while boosting productivity. We’re a high-growth, award-winning team that takes pride in solving hard problems together. But beyond the tech, we’re a group of people who genuinely enjoy what we do. Our values Win Together, Find a Better Way, Own the Outcome, and Enjoy the Ride aren’t just words on a wall. They guide how we work, how we support each other, and how we show up for our customers every day.
Key Responsibilities
- Install and Maintain Agri Hardware: You’ll be out on farms and commercial sites, setting up Levno gear, servicing existing equipment, and refurbishing hardware to keep it performing at its best.
- Troubleshoot and Fix on Site: When something’s not working right, you’ll roll up your sleeves, grab your tools, and diagnose the issue. Whether it’s wiring, connectivity, or mechanical faults, you’ll find the fix and get things back online.
- Validate Customer Estimates: Before starting work, you’ll review and confirm estimates for repairs and installations, ensuring customers know what to expect and there are no surprises.
- Work Safely with Tools: You’ll be comfortable operating drills, cabling equipment, and diagnostic tools, always following safe practices and taking care of yourself and those around you.
- Build Strong Customer Relationships: Farmers and clients will see you as the go-to person for Levno support. You’ll communicate clearly, listen to their needs, and build trust by being reliable, respectful, and genuinely helpful.
- Add Value for Clients: You’ll keep an eye out for opportunities to help customers get more from their technology—whether that’s recommending additional products or services that genuinely make their lives easier.
- Be a Brand Ambassador: Every interaction you have reflects Levno. You’ll represent us with professionalism, showing customers that we’re committed to their success.
- Manage Your Day Independently: With multiple jobs each day, you’ll plan your route, prioritise tasks, and take ownership of your workload from start to finish.
