Job description

$125,000-$145,000 + Company Vehicle + Health Insurance

Lead one of Hawke's Bay's biggest infrastructure projects.

Looking for more than just another Foreman role?

Join Seipp Construction and lead a skilled civil crew delivering the East Clive Wastewater Outfall Project, one of Hawke's Bay's largest and most technically challenging infrastructure projects.

This isn't a repetitive subdivision or maintenance project. It's a rare opportunity to work on complex infrastructure that will make a lasting difference to the region while building experience that will stand out throughout your career.

What makes this project different?

Unlike many contractors, Seipp self-performs much of our work. That means you'll gain exposure to a wide range of specialist civil construction activities while working alongside experienced engineers, supervisors and project managers.

You’ll be involved in delivering works including:

• Sheet and secant piling
• Complex dewatering
• Installation of 1.4m diameter PE pipeline
• New Zealand's largest hot tap
• Major mechanical installations
• Large-capacity wastewater flow management

Every stage of this project presents something different, making it an outstanding opportunity for an experienced Foreman looking to continue developing their capability.

What you'll be doing

You’ll be responsible for leading a civil construction crew to safely deliver quality work while maintaining productivity and programme.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Leading and motivating site crews
• Planning daily activities and coordinating resources
• Running pre-starts and maintaining a strong safety culture
• Working closely with engineers and project managers
• Ensuring work is completed safely, efficiently and to a high standard
• Monitoring productivity, quality and programme
• Coaching and developing your team

What we're looking for

You’ll be an experienced Civil Foreman who enjoys leading people and takes pride in delivering quality projects.

You’ll also have:

• Proven experience leading civil construction crews
• Strong planning and organisational skills
• A genuine commitment to health and safety
• The ability to motivate and develop others
• A practical, solutions-focused approach
• Pride in delivering quality workmanship

Experience across every aspect of this project isn't essential. We're looking for someone with the right attitude, leadership and willingness to learn.

At Seipp, we're delivering infrastructure that makes a difference for better lives and healthier communities. We're a growing national contractor known for tackling technically challenging projects, investing in our people and creating genuine career opportunities.

When you join Seipp you'll enjoy:

• $125,000-$145,000 salary package
• Company vehicle
• Health insurance
• Ongoing training and leadership development
• Clear career pathways into Supervisor and Superintendent roles
• The opportunity to work on landmark infrastructure projects across New Zealand
• A supportive team that values safety, quality and continuous improvement

This project is expected to run through until May 2028. Beyond that, you'll have the opportunity to continue building your career across Seipp's growing national business, with future opportunities in Hawke's Bay, Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

Build something you'll be proud of.

If you're ready to lead a great team, work on a landmark infrastructure project and build a long-term career with Seipp Construction, we'd love to hear from you.
