USD = $19 -20 , Euro = 18-19 , Pounds = 14-15, Aud = $30-33 ,
NZD= $30-35 average forklift technican / Engineer current pay scale in NZ. Good allrounders are paid $40 NZD plus ,these guys are usually work on BIG machinery. but they do expect their pound of flesh out of you. As for sunset mechanics, that is referred to Techs who only want to work office hours 9am to 3pm. Im a kiwi working in Oz on $40 AUD an hr on a 7.6 hr day with over time available after hours and Saturdays if I want. I prefer to hit the beaches on weekends rather than the tools, nice work life balance.
So, what should a skilled veteran (15 to 20 years) road tech make per hour in NZ dollars?
is that pounds sterling or NZ dollars, if its NZ dollars you can get more in Maccies serving burgers. LOL
So Number8,how's that recruitment drive going?
