Hi everyone,

I’m currently working as a panel beater and have been in the trade for about 15 years.

To be honest, I feel like I’ve hit the ceiling in my current career and I’m ready for a new challenge.

Rocket Lab has always been somewhere I’d love to work, especially in a Mechanical Assembly Technician or Production Technician role.

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s made a similar move, or anyone who works at Rocket Lab.

A few questions:
Does my background line up with these roles?
What skills would transfer over the best?
Is there anything I should learn or any courses worth doing before applying?
If you came from another trade, what helped you get your foot in the door?

Cheers!
