Join Our Team as a Full-Time Operator

Location: Horowhenua

Are you an experienced operator looking for a hands-on role with plenty of variety? Our civil
construction company based in Horowhenua is on the lookout for a skilled Operator to take
on small to medium-sized site civil construction projects.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic
environment and enjoys the challenge of managing both machinery and people on the

ground.

About the Role: You will primarily operate a 6T excavator, but this role goes beyond machinery and pulling

levers. You’ll play a key role in ensuring that projects are delivered efficiently, safely, and to
a high standard.
This is a varied and hands-on role where you'll have the opportunity to take real ownership
of your work across both residential and commercial sites. It’s not a “bum in seat” role –
we’re after someone who isn’t afraid to get stuck in and support the crew with physical
tasks when needed.
No two days will be the same – one day might be spent operating equipment, the next could
involve site prep or leading a small team. Weekend or night shifts may occasionally be

required, along with the potential for out-of-town work.

What We’re Looking For: -Proven experience operating 3–12T excavators and leading small teams on-site

  • A valid Class 2, 4, or 5 driver’s licence (or equivalent) with a clean record
  • At least 5 years’ experience in civil construction (commercial experience a plus)
  • Physically fit and willing to lend a hand with manual labour
  • Strong organisational skills and commitment to maintaining a tidy, efficient site and
work environment.
  • Great communication skills and the ability to keep projects running smoothly
-Solid understanding of health & safety standards in a construction environment-? Flexibility to work nights, weekends, or travel when required
  • A proactive attitude and the ability to adapt to changing priorities

What We Offer:

  • Competitive pay and opportunities for overtime
  • The chance to lead groundworks on a variety of residential and commercial projects
  • A tight-knit, supportive team with room for growth and career development

We’re after a skilled, down-to-earth team player – someone reliable, good with people, and

ready to roll up their sleeves. If you’re an experienced Operator with a strong work ethic

and a “can-do” attitude, we want to hear from you.

This is your chance to level up your career in a business that values teamwork, pride in the

job, and a hard days work.
