With strong relationships across the rural sector, we're known for delivering consistently high standards and clear communication.

This is a role for a tradesperson who wants more than just being on the tools - someone ready to lead projects and be accountable for the outcome.

- Plan ahead and problem-solve on-site
About You

- Minimum 4+ years' industry experience
- Proven ability to run jobs unsupervised
- Strong attention to detail and pride in high-end workmanship
- Experience across a range of construction (renos, roofing, concrete, rural builds, etc.)
- Leadership ability and confidence managing a small team
- Good time management and planning skills
- Physically fit and confident working at heights
- Full NZ driver's licence
- Current NZ work rights (or valid visa with minimum 12 months remaining and NZ/Aus experience)
In return, you can expect:- Competitive hourly rate
- Guaranteed 40 hours/week (typically 43-46 hours)
- Monday-Friday work - no weekends or stat days
- 2-3 weeks off over Christmas
- Work vehicle provided
- Tool allowance + large tools supplied
- Variety of work across residential, rural, and landscaping projects
- Supportive, family-oriented team (team of 4)
- Strong team culture with social events
- Opportunity to step into larger projects and greater leadership responsibility over time
