Clive Wilson Switchboards LTD

22/04/2026

Clive Wilson Engraving was imagined in the 80s when our founder Clive - true to the Southland attitude - questioned why he would pay someone to make our labels when he could very well do it himself. Quite a few decades later with some pretty impressive advancements in technology, the Engraving department continues to grow and is as busy as ever - laser cutting far more than just assorted Switchboard labels nowadays.

You’ll find department manager Pam and her computerised laser engraving machines hard at work in our Clyde Street premises in Invercargill.

Are you the next Clive Wilson Switchboards apprentice?

We're not looking for just anyone. We're looking for someone who's ready to work hard, learn fast, and build a career doing something that they actually enjoy. Clive Wilson Switchboards has been manufacturing switchboards in Invercargill for nearly 60 years - and the people who build them take serious pride in the work.

This is a real trade. Real skills. Real career.

What's in it for you?

🔧 A full apprenticeship - earn while you learn!

🔧 Work alongside tradies who know their stuff.

🔧 Stable work with a business that's been here since 1958.

🔧 Build things you can point to and say "I made that!"

No experience needed. Just show up, work hard, and want it.

Sound like you? Send me a message, or email [email protected].

Another big one out the door.
This 1200A distribution board is on its way from Invercargill up to a client in the North Island, fully crated and ready for the road.
People are sometimes surprised to hear that we send boards all over New Zealand. Southland is home, but our work turns up everywhere from Wellington to Auckland and plenty of places in between.

Every board gets properly crated before it leaves us. A lot of work goes into building these things and we want them arriving in the same condition they left.

If you or someone you know needs a switchboard built and delivered anywhere in NZ, give us a call. We'd love to help.
