[ref. h65507518] Foreman - Surfacing - Wellington

PCL Contracting Ltd is a privately owned civil contracting business based in Pauatahanui Porirua, specialising in roading, car parks, subdivisions, drainage, asphalt, excavation and siteworks.

We have worked hard over the last 10+ years to build our culture, we don't always get it right, but we are happy to have those honest conversations, as better never stops. As a result, our people work hard, have a laugh along the way and get the job done to a high standard.

We are on the search for an experienced Foreman to lead one of our Surfacing teams in the Wellington region. We have a strong focus on getting the right fit within our team, as our people are the most important part of our business. We generally work Monday - Friday, however at times you may also be required to work varied days/hours.

As a part of this role you would be required to (but would not be limited to):

• Ensuring the completion of contracts on time and within budget.
• Ensure staff operations of all plant and equipment are efficient and safely completed.
• Meeting regularly with the Surfacing Supervisor and Contracts Managers in order to plan upcoming works.
• Reporting to the Surfacing Supervisor and Contracts Managers on project issues where required.
• Organising daily planning in line with weekly plan to achieve targets.
• Provide guidance and training to your team with a shared knowledge approach.
• Carrying out prestart meetings and safe work plans to a high standard.
• Being solutions focused and have the ability to consider the bigger picture.
• Uplift and inspire your team to meet our culture, encourage performance and development, while being able to engage and have tough conversations around accountability.
• Overseeing management of all works on site to ensure compliance and best practice are adhered to.

Your ability to maintain up to date records daily from contract quality plans, pre-start meetings, toolboxes and daily reporting is essential. This is all completed using mobile technology, so a basic understanding and willingness to use apps and programs would be beneficial.

Our ideal candidate will demonstrate a strong work ethic and high-performance culture. Our company culture is our main focus at PCL. We have a close knit team that demonstrate our core values of C.R.A.S.H (Communication, Respect, Attitude, Support and Honesty), so your previous asphalting experience leading a team will show a strong work ethic that gets the best out of people and a desire to achieve.

The role will pay a competitive hourly rate, provide a company vehicle, iPad and phone, as well as continual training and opportunity for career progression.

If you want to work for a company that offers great support to its employees and genuinely takes care of its people - then PCL may be the company for you!

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
