Careers » Pentech

Pentech was originally founded to fill a gap in the IP Communications market – to consider people and relationships just as importantly as process and structure. We use our people, their skills, experience, talent and integrity to think smart and deliver precisely the network communication solutions you need.

From our Wellington head office, we have established a national network team dedicated to forging outstanding working partner relationships with clients and our commitment to building and supporting those partnerships is unfailing.

Our responsiveness is second-to-none, decision-making taking place on the spot as our people work independently within our efficient, flexible, transparent and support-based company structure.

Our people are naturally our biggest asset in this relationship-focused environment and we concentrate on employing those who fit in terms of skills and personality, who think like we do and have the passion to add value to any project.

While an independent company, we partner with manufacturers and also work with other specialist service providers to provide end-to-end solutions.

If you think you have the skills, personality and motivation that we expect from our people, we want to hear from you.

We are particularly interested in people with skills in:

Great Customer Service
Analytical Thinking
Network Engineering
Network Design
Unified Communications
Wireless

Bishwa Sharma – Senior Technical Consultant
Bishwa is our Senior Technical Consultant but we know him as Mr Trouble Shooter. With more than 20 years network engineering experience behind him in companies such as IBM and Logical Networks and a CCIE qualification, he is highly respected in the industry. Customer-focused, friendly and responsive, he loves a challenge and there’s hardly a fault that he can’t fix. And Bishwa’s also a high flyer outside of work having gained his pilot’s licence.

Geoff Herd – Network Consultant
Working on the network design and engineering side, Geoff has more than 20 years’ experience with a range of manufacturer products such as Cisco, Brocade and Allied Telesyn. He hits the water on weekends as he’s a keen boatie and Vice Commodore of the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club.

Dean Brough – Managing Director
Dean’s role as Managing Director draws on experience from operations, programming, network engineering, sales, account management, consulting and management – in fact, anything which is network-focused. He has nearly 30 years’ experience in the ICT industry – including time with IBM and Logical Networks – that gives him a technical background tempered with top business acumen. He uses these skills to empower Pentech people to deliver company goals and fulfill customer expectations. Given some free time, he’ll be found anywhere in the great outdoors.

Bryan Daley – Solutions Architect
Solutions Designer Bryan is a skilled network architect who has worked for more than 30 years for telecommunications service providers and large enterprises. He has experience with some of NZ’s largest IP telephony and unified communications deployments and, in a former life, worked for IBM and Logical Networks. When he’s not negotiating networks, he can be found negotiating off-road tracks in a 4WD.

Ty Kahu – Services Manager
Ty is our Services Manager responsible for resource planning and deployment, among other things. His very technical background of more than 30 years stands him in good stead to adapt and apply those skills to new assignments. When not bouncing around ideas and resources, he’ll most likely be on a volleyball court coaching.

Jan Schoenfelder – Network Consultant
Since arriving in NZ in 2006, Jan has worked on large enterprise networks, network design, consultancy and engineering. Prior to that, his 20 years of experience included working for IBM in Germany. He is also a Cisco certified trainer. Jan also branches out to the great outdoors when not working and is another 4WD enthusiast.

Haydn Price - Sales Manager
Sales Manager Haydn is relationship-focused, naturally friendly and a genuine customer advocate. He’s worked in the ICT industry for more than 30 years and is driven to provide outstanding customer service. He also drives a pretty mean golf ball in his spare time.

Douglas Thomas – Network Engineer
Network Engineer Doug is fairly new to the ICT industry but has a tremendous ability to pick up and absorb new technology. His passion for technology combines perfectly with his customer-focused, motivated and friendly approach. Doug is also a member of the Wellington Volunteer Coastguard.

John Sigsworth – Telecommunications Support Specialist
An expert in supporting Aastra/Ericsson telephony systems and integration to related Microsoft systems, John has 41 years’ experience in the ICT industry. He’s enthusiastic and customer-focused and always ready to go the extra mile. He also pitches in in his spare time, going the extra mile to support his favourite baseball team, the Boston Red Sox.

Chris Geenty – Office Manager
Chris keeps the office running smoothly and efficiently. She is in charge of all things administrative, sales support and general office management. Outside of work, she’s found on a netball court or a mountain bike.

Paul Duxfield – Network Consulting Analyst
Paul has held various technical, consulting and management positions in the networking field during the last 25+ years. His experience is focused on network strategy, design and security – areas which suit Paul’s analytical and enquiring mind perfectly. He is also constantly looking to maximise business value from telecommunications networks. Free time is spent enjoying off-road motorbiking.

Pentech has moved…

After four years of growth we have decided to move office in Wellington. Our old office was getting a little cramped and, frankly, it was a bit tired. So we've moved to a new office with enough space for now and the coming years.

We are now located on level 1, Radio Network House, 190 Taranaki Street.

We'd love to see you and show you our new office so feel free to pop in for a coffee.

Technology is people. And our new website reflects this…

Our new-look website, which we launched today, reflects the work we've undertaken in the last year to understand our business better, why we're here, where we want to go and, above all, what our clients current and future will expect from their communications supplier. Central to all of those things are, we believe, people and relationships. In our business and in your business.

While we're in an incredibly technical sector, technology is nothing without people – after all, the end user of technology is people. Whether we like it or not therefore, every one of us has a relationship with technology. Our people are here to help your people have the right relationship with technology – to choose what's appropriate, to use it more efficiently, securely and to its optimum potential. In turn, this allows them to connect and communicate with each other in the best and most appropriate way. To have better and more profitable business relationships.

So our business is first and foremost about human relationships – with technology and with each other. Which is why our people are the focus of this new website. Behind each of these people is a business called Pentech and a set of values that each of us understand and cherish:

• Integrity – delivering on commitment
• Responsiveness - delivering on time / in a timely fashion
• Thoroughness – start-to-finish ownership of detail
• Innovation – a free hand to apply creative thought as appropriate
• Passion – a drive to excel for us, for you

We employ our people not just because of their skills, but their attitude, their drive to commit to our business and their expected positive impact on our culture. We nurture relationships in our organisation to engender a sense of positive cohabitation – common aims, pulling together as one to ensure smart thinking and precise delivery. We're people with a passion for technology. For you.

We hope you enjoy the site. Please don't hesitate to tell us what you think.

Dean Brough – Managing Director
