- Contribute to delivering Good Work on a major infrastructure project with serious standards and a strong team culture.
We’re looking for someone with
- A minimum of 3 years’ post-graduate experience in heavy civil construction or major infrastructure projects.
- A tertiary qualification in civil engineering such as BE, NZCE, or Diploma.
- Strong planning skills, with the ability to develop construction methodologies and work programmes.
- Proven experience managing subcontractors and coordinating resources including materials, plant, and labour.
- A collaborative, team-focused approach and the confidence to build strong working relationships.
- Clear communication skills and a proactive, accountable attitude.
- A genuine interest in delivering complex civil structures safely and to a high standard.
- A strong commitment to safety, quality, and continuous improvement.
