**The Opportunity** **|** **Te** **kōwhiringa**

This is a great opportunity to start your career within our Transport & Infrastructure, Surfacing Operation. Develop your skills and gain experience as a Sprayer Operator. Working as part of our Specialised Pavements Preservation team, you’ll be involved in a number of road sealing activities, Rejuvenation Seals and Maintenance Seals.

But what does that really mean? You’ll be spraying bitumen Emulsion (the glue that holds the stones to the road).

It’s a bit more complicated than just that though, you’ll need to ensure the correct spray rates are being applied, doing quality checks, driving the sprayer truck and looking after the plant (we’ve got some brand new sprayers that you’ll be working on too).

This is a Full Time, Permanent role based in Auckland or Hamilton.

**Important Skills | Nga pūkenga matua**

***
As you’ll be working on some pretty heavy machinery, you’ll ideally bring with you a Class 4 or 5 Licence. You will be trained to operate our Secmair Chip Sealer Combi Sprayer.

You’ll also be a team player and need some experience and a keen interest in roading and chip-sealing work. You’ll couple this with
- A great work ethic - you’ll be part of a busy team and working some long hours is required (but you’ll be rewarded accordingly)
- Be flexible, able to travel and stay away from home (we work all over the place)
- Strong focus on Safety, Quality and protecting our Environment
- Problem solving skills to solve daily challenges
- The right attitude - this is a great opportunity to be a Downer Bitumen Sprayer Operator - a highly sought after skill in New Zealand
