Grader Operator

1 day ago

Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand Roading and Building Recruitment Full time

THE GIG:

This isn't just another job - it's your chance to jump on board with a leading Civil Construction company with a solid, long term career pathway in place for you. Think steady work, a pipeline of diverse exciting projects, and a team culture that backs you all the way. Operating for over 40 years, our client has built a strong reputation for delivering specialist, quality work across the full Civil spectrum in the Marlborough region.

An opportunity has opened up for an experienced Civil Grader Operator due to the current operator's upcoming retirement - having been in the role for nearly 20 years, this is a reflection of the opportunity and support on offer from this business to set up a long term career and thrive Day to day, you'll be:

  • Operating graders to shape, level, and finish roads, shoulders, drainage ditches, and surfaces
  • Keeping things smooth with routine road maintenance (think potholes, erosion control, and finishing touches)
  • Taking charge of pavement treatments, overlays, and subdivision works
  • Using your skills to make sure projects are delivered on time, on spec, and to the highest quality

Whoever steps into the role will have a couple years of handover to ensure you master the machines, processes and projects to set you up for success. The opportunity, relocation and investment on offer reflects this role being a long term career path with a company going places, not a short term stepping stone. 

You'll be based in sunny Blenheim, with world class fishing, hunting, diving, boating, tramping and mountain biking on your doorstep. If you've been looking to get out of the city rat race, achieve a better work life balance for you and your family and enjoy the sunshine and lifestyle on offer in Marlborough - what are you waiting for 

THE GOODS:

  • $35 to $45 per hour (experience-dependent)
  • Variety in the day-to-day - no two weeks look the same
  • Ongoing training and development opportunities
  • Full PPE supplied
  • Supportive, down-to-earth crew who back each other
  • Monday to Friday with the odd Saturday or night shift as needed
  • A project with stability and long-term prospects
  • Relocation assistance on offer
  • Achievable work life balance - and a company that supports it
  • Live, work and play in arguably one of the best spots in NZ

YOU'LL NAIL THIS ROLE IF:

  • 2+ years mastering graders in civil or roading projects and know your way around a site
  • Class 2 Licence with WTR endorsements
  • Experience with GPS/Total Station gear even better - but not a dealbreaker
  • Experience leading crews or teams and know how to get the best out of people
  • Safety, reliability, and quality are guaranteed in all your work
  • You can pass a drug test and show up ready to represent the company like a pro
  • Above all, you take pride in your work, with a keen eye for detail and getting things done right
