Job description

Jora New Zealand will close on 9th September 2026. Thank you for being with us, we are cheering you on as you continue your career journey.

We’re looking for an Asphalt Plant Supervisor to join our team in Auckland. You’ll lead day-to-day plant operations, coordinate production and maintenance, and make sure quality asphalt is ready when our crews need it, helping us deliver safer, more reliable roads across the region.

Mō te tūranga | About the role

This is a hands-on leadership role at one of our critical Auckland asphalt plants, where reliable production keeps road construction, resurfacing and maintenance work moving. You’ll oversee plant operations, people, materials and compliance, making sure asphalt is produced safely, efficiently and to specification each day. It’s a role with real impact: when the plant runs well, projects stay on schedule, costs stay under control, and communities get durable roads that are fit for purpose. We take the work seriously, not ourselves, and you’ll join a team that backs good ideas and high standards.

Responsibilities

• Lead the safe and efficient day-to-day operation of the asphalt plant.
• Coordinate production schedules, plant staff and material supply to meet project demand.
• Oversee plant maintenance and work closely with the team to minimise downtime.
• Monitor asphalt quality and compliance standards, ensuring product is delivered to specification.
• Drive continuous improvement across plant performance, safety, housekeeping and cost control.

Qualifications

• Experience in asphalt production, plant operations, or a similar industrial or manufacturing environment.
• Basic financial understanding, including an awareness of budget considerations and the factors that influence financial outcomes.
• Basic computer literacy, including proficiency in Microsoft Office applications such as Excel.
• Proven people leadership skills, with the ability to coordinate teams and keep work moving.
• A strong focus on safety, quality and operational compliance.
• Good planning, problem-solving and communication skills.
• A proactive, accountable approach and the confidence to identify better ways of working.

At Fulton Hogan, we genuinely care about the wellbeing of our people and giving them the tools and opportunities they need to succeed and grow with us. You’ll have access to:

• Medical insurance and Life insurance after the eligibility period.
• KiwiSaver employer contributions after service milestones, up to 7%.
• Parental leave top up payment with additional return to work support.
• Ongoing training and development, with clear career growth and progression opportunities.
• Great discounts at a wide range of retailers.

Fulton Hogan is an integrated infrastructure, construction and services business working across New Zealand and Australia. We partner with clients and communities to design, build, operate and maintain critical assets – from bitumen and quarries to roads, water and energy. Our people are united by a simple purpose: to create, connect and care for communities, while reducing environmental impact and supporting more sustainable futures.

At Fulton Hogan, Good Work is about more than what we deliver. It’s how we show up, how we treat each other, and how we keep moving forward together. We’re flat, friendly and low ego. Titles matter less than ideas, and when the stakes are high, we switch on and deliver to a seriously high standard.
