Re-Enlistment Opportunities

We currently have vacancies in many different trades at most rank levels.  However, at the moment we are particularly interested in hearing from Ammunition Technicians, Electronic Technicians, Armourers, and S.A.S, all around the rank of Corporal.

Please be aware that we assess re-enlistment applications on a case by case basis, measuring against our current vacancies. Some trades and ranks are higher priority than others due to shortages. Although we will have a look at all applications, our current priorities are at the rank level of Lance Corporal – Sergeant, and Lieutenant – Captain.

To find out if we have a position available for you, please contact your nearest recruiting office for more information, or apply online and we will be in touch.

6. The re-enlistment & overseas recruitment team arranges for medical files to be checked & a basic medical test to be conducted at the NZ Army’s expense. Further testing, at the applicant’s expense, may be required as all re-enlistments need to show that they are deployable.
