Application process

Make sure your CV is up to date and lists all the roles you have held and the experiences you have gained in these roles. This helps us make an accurate assessment of your suitability for the role you have applied for.

You also need to provide us with a covering letter which explains why you are applying for the role and what qualities and attributes you have that will help us decide if you are right for the role.

You will also need to complete our Application for Employment Form and submit with your application:

Please email applications for our advertised roles to: jobs@aswilcox.co.nz and ensure you put the Job Title and Location in the Subject Line.

If you are shortlisted for interview, you will be contacted by phone to arrange a date and time. Confirmation will be followed up with an email. Some roles will require a second interview, and this is usually with the Manager again and perhaps the Senior Manager for that area. Sometimes, we may conduct a third interview.

It is very important for us to recruit people who are a good “fit” for Wilcox. This sometimes does not mean the person with the best technical ability, but a person who has a mix of good technical knowledge and experience relevant to the role, but also a person who will fit with our Values and culture. At a second interview, you will usually be given the opportunity to have a look at the area in which you may work and also meet some of your potential colleagues. For more senior roles you may be asked to come out for a third visit to the company so that you can meet members of the senior management team. While these all take time, it is important for both you and us that a good recruitment decision is made – these are often long term relationships for Wilcox.

Reference checks are an important part of our recruitment process. These are only conducted with your permission and we will let you know if we are at that stage of the recruitment process. Please ensure that you have let your references know to expect a call from us.

We are a drug and alcohol-free site. Pre employment drug screens are done for all prospective new employees at Wilcox. Random testing is also a part of our health and safety programme for all employees. Any offer of employment is subject to returning a negative drug screen.

If you are unsuccessful in your application for a role, you will be advised after the shortlisting process has been completed. If you are successful in being shortlisted, have an interview and are unsuccessful but we would still like to employ you in the future, we will ask you whether you would be willing for us to keep your CV on file for up to 6 months and consider you for other roles that may come available. You are able to withdraw your consent at any time.
