Go-getter Fraser Carr transitions from Hydraulink Waged Employee to Owner-Operator

20 July 2026

A man keen to take his future into his own hands has transitioned from an employee into an Owner Operator with the national Hydraulink hose, fittings, and service organisation.

Fraser Carr first began as a branch technician with Hydraulink six years ago before moving to a Hydraulink Sales and Service Technician (HSST) role, which saw him take a truck around to service sites in Whangarei, New Zealand.

"I learnt a lot in the first five years on the job, serving demanding industries like earthmoving, quarrying, trucking and transport, and agriculture, and I decided it was time to be my own boss and take control of my future," said Fraser.

Hydraulink's extensive national network includes seven company-owned sites in New Zealand, and more than 250 service points offering 24/7 onsite and mobile services.

Fraser has won company awards for Health and Safety, most improved HSST, and a company culture award.

"I've got two young kids, so being able to make my own decisions, control my own finances, and still have the backing and support of a nationally recognised and respected hydraulics business was very appealing to me."
