About the Role
This is an intermediate to senior-level position suited to someone who takes pride in precision, safety, and building things that last longer than the road beneath them.

  • Relevant trade qualification (preferred) or strong equivalent experience
  • High standard of workmanship with excellent attention to detail
  • Ability to work with minimal supervision and manage your time effectively
  • Strong commitment to workplace health and safety
  • Physically fit and adaptable
  • Class 2–5 NZ driver licences and endorsements (D, F) are an advantage but not essential
What’s on Offer
  • Excellent remuneration package tailored to experience
  • Indicative salary range: $38 -$40 per hour
  • Full-time, permanent role with a guaranteed minimum of 40 hours per week
  • Regular overtime available, including rostered Saturday work (fortnightly)
  • Stable employment with a respected, long-standing business
  • Supportive, down-to-earth team culture
  • Live and work in Gisborne, where sunshine, short commutes, and lifestyle balance come standard
