About the Role:

We are a small, NZ-owned and independent IANZ Accredited Civil Materials Laboratory based in Silverdale, and we are expanding our team to manage an increasing workload.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Full-time position with a minimum of 80 hours per fortnight.
  • Hours of work can be between 7am and 6pm Monday to Friday, and 7am to 2pm on Saturdays.

Benefits:

  • Competitive hourly rate.
  • Commuter vehicle included in the package for field technicians once trained.
  • Opportunity to gain valuable experience in the Civil and Geotechnical Engineering fields.

About You:

  • Licenses: You must hold a full class 1 New Zealand Driver's License. A class 2 license is advantageous but not required.

  • Self-Motivation: Excellent time management, problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently and efficiently.
  • Flexibility: Adaptability to changing conditions and work requirements.
  • Team Player: Collaborative and supportive attitude within the team.
  • Location: While the office is in Silverdale, most work will be site-based in the greater Auckland area, so proximity to the office is not a major concern.
