Technical Shift Cover for NZ Manufacturing Plants
Some plants need more than a callout number — they need a technician already on the floor. MMP's technical shift cover embeds a skilled technician directly into your production shift, so machine maintenance issues get handled the moment they happen, not after a call and a wait.

How it works
Three steps to getting a technician on your shift
Technical shift cover is built around your production schedule — whether you need coverage for a single busy period or an ongoing arrangement.
1
Scope your shift needs
We discuss which shifts need coverage, the machinery involved, and whether it's a one-off, seasonal, or ongoing requirement.
2
We embed a technician
A qualified MMP technician is scheduled to work directly on your shift floor, briefed on your equipment and production priorities.
3
On-site support and handover
Issues get diagnosed and fixed in real time during the shift. Handover notes are provided so the next shift and your team stay informed.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
QWhat is technical shift cover?
Technical shift cover is a service where an MMP technician is embedded directly into your production shift, on-site, to handle machine maintenance issues as they arise — rather than being called out after a breakdown.
QHow is this different from a preventative maintenance contract?
A maintenance contract is scheduled, planned servicing at set intervals. Shift cover is a technician physically present during your shift, ready to respond to whatever comes up in real time. Many clients use both together.
QCan shift cover be short-term, like during a busy period?
Yes — shift cover can be arranged for a single shift, a seasonal peak period, or as an ongoing arrangement depending on your production needs.
QWhat machinery can the technician support?
Our technicians cover a broad range of mechanical, electrical, conveyor and packaging equipment. We confirm the specific machinery on your site during scoping so the right skill set is scheduled.
QDo you provide handover notes or reporting?
Yes — every shift includes handover documentation so the next shift, and your own team, have a clear record of what was addressed.
