These include local body infrastructure, commercial construction, and subdivision development. You’ll play a key role in ensuring that these projects are completed safely, on time, and to the highest standard.

You’ll work closely with your Site Manager to plan and execute daily tasks, manage job progress, and ensure that health and safety processes are always followed.

- A proven track record in drainage or water reticulation projects.
- A full Class 1 Driver’s License.
- The ability to read and interpret plans and technical drawings.
- Strong leadership skills and experience training or managing others.
- A great attitude and commitment to delivering quality results.

For those applying for more senior roles, we’re looking for:
- Leadership experience, including managing crews.
- The ability to plan and set out jobs.
- Experience operating plant and machinery.
- A completed NZ Apprenticeship or relevant qualification in Drain laying or Pipeline Construction and Maintenance is preferred (but we’re also keen to help you get there if you’re working towards it!).

What’s On Offer:
Join a respected civil construction company based in Cambridge, where we pride ourselves on our family-oriented culture and supportive work environment. We offer:
- A positive team atmosphere with regular social events.
