How to become a certified electrician in New Zealand

If you are thinking of becoming a certified electrician in New Zealand, now is a great time to consider it.
New Zealand has gone through a boom in construction all over the country over the last three years and is predicted to grow at a similar rate for the coming years, thanks to the increase in tourism and migration.
Strong construction demand in Auckland and other parts of New Zealand has left the sector with a shortage in labour, which means that you are sure to land a job once you have become a certified electrician.

Average Pay

According to PayScale, an electrician gets paid an average of NZ$27.98, up to NZ$34.71.
Industrial electricians get paid a lot more at an average of NZ$30.81 per hour and gets paid overtime somewhere between $NZ25.45 – NZ$52.37.
