About Maddex Turbine Services
Maddex Turbine Services is part of Rotation Group, providing gas turbine overhaul, repair and field services across New Zealand, Australia and Canada.
The best time to join a company is just before everyone else realises they should have. The AI boom has turned electricity into the defining constraint of the digital economy, and the aeroderivative gas turbine — led by GE’s LM2500 — has become the engine of choice for fast, reliable power. Demand is running years ahead of what the industry can build, and every engine in service needs a specialist to keep it running.
We’ve spent years building for exactly this moment: three specialised sites, a purpose-built overhaul depot, a technical centre of excellence, and a team drawn from the world’s leading OEMs and operators. Now we’re scaling — and growing our team to match the opportunity ahead. The seats we’re filling now will define the company for the next decade.
At Rotation, we take responsibility, aim for excellence, and win as a team. We value people who bring initiative, accountability, and pride to their work.
