Hi

I'm a engineer with 8 years experience in a varied mechanical and electrical role and with an engineering degree from the UK, I'm looking to travel to NZ in March to explore career options there, I've been looking through a few of the job sites such as Seek, but I'm wandering if anyone knows if there are any engineering recruitment companies which I could get in touch with either before I get to NZ or once I get there to aid with getting a job.

I've applied for a couple of jobs already but it seems employers aren't willing to take applications further if the applicant isn't currently in NZ even though I've got a visa.

Any help/advice would be much appreciated.
