New Zealand Job Openings for Filipinos 2024 – No Placement Fee

Jobs as a steel fixer, glazier, welder, asphalt, assistant dairy farmer, carpenter, cook, electrician, civil engineer, and other professions are available in New Zealand for skilled professionals.

The only thing qualified candidates need to know is which specific Philippine manpower agencies to send their expertly written resumes to. There is a long-term and immediate shortage of skilled workers in the following industries: agriculture and forestry, construction, education, engineering, finance/business, health and social services, recreation, hospitality and tourism, science, trades, and transport, according to the official website of New Zealand Immigration.

Oil and gas are currently in short supply. The Canterbury region, where Christchurch City is situated, is now experiencing a labor shortage, particularly in the fields of trades, engineering, construction, and telecommunications.

Regarding the employment of OFWs, there is no government-to-government agreement between New Zealand and the Philippines. In this regard, Hans Leo Cacdac, the current administrator of the POEA, has provided a list of New Zealand POEA-accredited companies that have job orders from NZ employers.

Only the agencies named should receive applications from OFWs looking to work there for safety concerns, and you understand what I mean. Filipinos who want to work in New Zealand might occasionally check the official POEA website to learn about the most recent job postings on that country’s website.
