The plain-English version

What is CFU’s
technician-hire service?

Instead of subcontracting a full turnkey install, you hire our qualified LV, data, fibre or security technicians directly — day-rate, project-rate, or embedded on your crew for 3+ months. They arrive Site Safe, insured, with their own tools and PPE, and hand back a signed pre-start pack. You keep client control. We supply the certified hands.

Why CFU

Not labour hire.
Not a recruiter. Specialist LV crew.

Adecco doesn’t have OTDR-certified fibre techs. Recruiters place people permanently. We’re the third option — direct-hire specialist crew, day-rate or project, no agency markup.

Where we work

Auckland-wide —
upper North Island on request

Auckland and upper North Island jobs get same-day dispatch — no travel surcharge inside the Auckland region, from Warkworth in the north to Papakura in the south.

Waikato, Northland and Bay of Plenty jobs — we deploy the same certified techs and quote a km-based travel line so there are no surprises. Overnight accommodation loaded transparently for multi-day stints.

Rest of NZ — Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, Tauranga, Hamilton, Queenstown and everywhere in between — quoted with travel and accommodation loaded transparently, on site within the week for planned work. For 3+ week engagements outside Auckland, we embed a tech near-site for the duration.

Pricing

What a technician costs
— and how we quote

Rate depends on skill mix, duration and site complexity. A Cat6 puller for a week is different pricing to an OTDR-certified fibre tech for a month. Send us the scope and we’ll quote same day — named tech with certificate expiry attached.

We don’t publish a headline rate because the honest answer would be a wide band. Day-rate for 1-4 week jobs. Project-rate for anything longer. Embedded-rate for 3+ month engagements. Zero agency markup.

Procurement questions NZ asks

Hire-a-technician questions
procurement teams actually ask

What technicians can I hire from CFU?
Data cable technicians (Cat5e/6/6A/7), fibre technicians (single-mode + multi-mode, OTDR-certified), security installers (CCTV, access control, alarms) and LV crew for fit-outs (containment, ceiling install). All NZ-based, all Site Safe, all certified for the scope you’re hiring them for.
What certifications do your techs hold?
Every tech on the bench holds a current Site Safe passport, Impac Prequal registration, and — where applicable — EWRB LV registration and vendor certification (Fluke, OTDR, Gallagher, Protege). CFU carries $5M Public Liability. Named tech with certificate expiry supplied with every quote.
Can I hire a single technician or do I need to hire a crew?
Either. Single-tech day-rate is fine — common for fibre splice work, testing days, or a specialist add-on to your own crew. Full-crew (2-6 techs) is common for fit-outs, cutovers and cabling scopes. Tell us the scope and we’ll match the right shape.
What’s the minimum engagement?
One day is our minimum for day-rate work. Below one day it’s not worth mobilising a tech. For anything 1-4 weeks we use day-rate; for longer projects we shift to project-rate; for 3+ months we can embed a tech directly on your crew at a direct rate with no agency markup.
Do your techs bring their own tools, PPE and Site Safe passport?
Yes. Every tech arrives with their own tools (or specialist tools per scope — Fluke, OTDR, splice kit as needed), full PPE, and a current Site Safe passport. Site inductions are done on the first morning at no charge. Impac forms returned in 24 hours if you need them.
How do you charge — day-rate, hourly, project?
Day-rate is the default for 1-4 week jobs. Project-rate (fixed scope, fixed price) for anything longer or well-scoped. Embedded-rate (weekly or monthly) for 3+ month engagements. Weekly invoicing on ongoing engagements. Terms are 20th of the following month unless we agree otherwise.
What happens if the tech I hire underperforms or gets injured?
On performance: raise it with us the same day and we replace the tech at no cost within 24-48 hours. On injury: our techs are covered by ACC and CFU’s Public Liability policy. Any incident triggers our standard incident report — you get a copy for your H&S file within 48 hours.
Can I embed a CFU tech on my crew for 3+ months, badged in my company shirt?
Yes. Embedded crew is common. Tech works on your programme, in your shirt, badged as yours. Same tech every day — no rotation. Direct rate, no agency-style markup. Standard no-poach clause both ways so nobody has to worry about the tech being hired away.
