Join Our Team at High Country Contracting
A well-established and award-winning pest control company based in the southern South Island, renowned for our expertise in animal and plant pest control, as well as native plant restoration in Mid Canterbury, South Canterbury, and Otago, we are on the hunt for dedicated, fit, outdoor enthusiasts who share our mission:

"To continually add value, passion, and innovation to enhance our unique environment."

Field Operator Role
As a Field Operator in our team, you will play a vital role in the control and survey of plant or animal pests, contributing to the restoration of native species and the biosecurity within our landscapes. Every operation is different and can require a range of control methods, adding a touch of diversity to day-to-day tasks.

Our work employs various control methods, such as:

Spraying

Using hand tools

Operating chainsaws

Employing animal-related techniques like trapping and deploying toxins

Given the nature of our work, our team frequently operates in remote and secluded areas, providing the opportunity to experience NZ off the beaten track. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to acquire new skills and obtain NZQA qualifications while being part of an industry-leading company.

High Country Contracting is committed to providing job advancement within the Field Operator role, while assisting you in building a successful career and finding your niche. Our team is based out of Pleasant Point and travels to operational sites across the South Island. Within the role, you will be required to stay away for the working week (Mon through Fri), which can vary between our houses in Twizel to shearer's quarters and DoC huts.

What We Offer Our Successful Applicants:

Competitive hourly wage

Shared accommodation while working away

Three meals per day while working away

Comprehensive medical/health insurance after 3 months of employment

National career advancement

Job security

Training and guidance

Position Requirements
This is a physically demanding field-based position that will take you deep into the native bush and high country. The successful applicant will:

Be physically fit and capable of carrying heavy loads across steep mountainous terrain, not for the faint-hearted

Have experience in pest control or biosecurity work

Enjoy a native New Zealand environment

Have the ability to work away from the Pleasant Point HCC base

Possess good communication skills

Have the ability to drive off-road vehicles

Have a strong commitment to health and safety

And most importantly, have a positive work attitude and a great work ethic

Desirable Qualifications:
The following are desirable but not essential:

A qualification or experience in pest control

A full class 1 Driver's License

First Aid Certificate

Qualifications in ATV, LUV, and 4WD use

GrowSafe Certification or Controlled Substance License

NZQA unit standards in chainsaw use or a qualification in plant pest management or in the forestry sector

If you are passionate about the outdoors, fit, and dedicated to safeguarding New Zealand's natural values, join us at High Country Contracting and be part of a team committed to making a difference.

Kindly be aware that candidates applying for this position will undergo pre-employment evaluations. We encourage individuals who may not successfully pass a NZ Police check and drug and alcohol test to consider this before applying.
