About your location

The Trimble Access/Field Systems team is based in our Birmingham Drive, Christchurch office. Because most of the team is usually in the office you will usually be expected to work in the office 5 days per week. Because there are 450 people based in the Christchurch office, there are plenty of opportunities to make new connections and to learn from each other in a fun and inclusive environment.

About Our Team

This position will report directly to the Technical Writer for the Field Software team, focused predominantly on the Trimble Access surveying software. The team members you will work with are mostly located in Christchurch, New Zealand.
