FROM OUR STUDENTS

Justin Mendoza
Welding (Level 3 and 4)

“My dad’s a welder. I gave it a

go and liked it too, so decided to
enrol at the New Zealand Welding
School. They taught us everything
right from the basics, and we got
to do lots of practical work. Now
I’m working as a welder fabricator
for Roadmaster, making trailers
from scratch and servicing trucks
and trailers. This is my first full
time welding job so I’m pretty
happy about it – it’s the beginning
of my career.”
Joel Mani
Welding (Level 3 and 4)

“Before enrolling at NZWS I was

trying to get into the army to do
engineering. Now that I’ve done
this course I’ll work as a welder
for a while and then probably
try for the army again. It should
give me a good head start. The
Level 3 and 4 welding courses
taught me a lot and got me
my job as a welder fabricator
for Merton Equipment. I get to
make stuff from scratch and it
has a lot to do with engineering,
so I’m pretty happy!”

 FROM OUR
EMPLOYERS
Shipyard and boat building company McMullen & Wing has a global
reputation for quality and innovation. The go-to experts for both refit
and new construction, they specialise in everything from superyachts
and recreational boats, to fishing trawlers and ferries.

Not surprisingly securing quality staff

“Working at McMullen &
Wing is great. I’m constantly
moving around, doing
different tasks every day. It’s
not desk-bound work and it
inspires me to become an
awesome welder.”
is a top priority – the work is complex,
technical, and requires a highly-skilled
team. Three of the company’s newest
recruits are from NZ Welding School, and
according to McMullen & Wing Resources
Manager Phil Allen, they’ve all hit the
ground running.
“Not only did they come in with the base
knowledge and skills that we need, but
they also get on well with the other staff,
have good timekeeping skills and are
reliable” says Phil.
“Studying at NZ Welding School teaches you everything you
need to know. The tutors there have been welding for 15 years
plus. There are old men there who have been welding all their
lives! It helps heaps when it comes to starting your career.”
Ekueni Purcell, Bailley Te Whaiti and Bryan
Hape-Woodmass are currently putting their
skills to the test working on the new build
of an aluminium mussel factory vessel. For
welder Ekueni it’s a golden opportunity to
take his expertise to the next level.
“My goal is to be an expert in my field and
learn from the best in the business,” says
Ekueni.
“Working at McMullen & Wing is great. I’m
constantly moving around, doing different
tasks every day. It’s not desk-bound work
and it inspires me to become an awesome
welder.”
McMullen & Wing was established over
50 years ago as a traditional boat building
company, building pleasure craft in steel,
aluminium, wood and composite. Over
the past 20 years the company has built
increasingly larger superyachts, the most
recent 50 metres long. More recently
the yard branched into new build and
maintenance of commercial vessels
and workboats. Their craftmanship is in
demand not just in New Zealand, but all
over the world.
Securing a boat building apprenticeship
with such a highly-regarded company
would be a dream come true for Bailley.
“When I started at NZ Welding School I
wanted to become a boilermaker or a boat
builder, so when I got hit up for this I went
straight over,” says Bailley.
“Being in line for an apprenticeship here is
great. I can learn more while I am working
and I’m always doing something different.”
For former classmate and father of five
Bryan, landing a job as a welder for
McMullen & Wing has also brought big
benefits.
“I’ve got five kids so I wanted to get
on a career path. There are heaps of
opportunities here,” he says.
The skills Bryan learnt at NZ Welding
School have prepared him well for
the challenges of working for such a
trailblazing company.
“Studying at NZ Welding School teaches
you everything you need to know. The
tutors there have been welding for 15 years
plus. There are old men there who have
been welding all their lives! It helps heaps
when it comes to starting your career.”
