Hello london girl,
I have an electrical contracting business in Hamilton (Waikato).
If your OH has no problems emigrating I strongly suggest you wait until you arrive in NZ before going through the registration process. To do it from the UK is both time consuming and expensive.
If OH is a good tradesman he will have no problems finding employment immediately, irrespective of not having formal NZ qualification or registration - just so long as he starts the registration process without delay.
If you have any queries you can contact us directly through our web site -

Check out the employment page on the site - if you're considering the Waikato we'd like to hear from OH.
Cheers,
Keith
