Job description

Mō te tūranga | About the role

As a Cyclic Operator, you'll be part of a hands‑on crew delivering essential road maintenance work across the West Coast network. This is an outdoor role where no two days look exactly the same, and your work will help keep roads safe, reliable, and ready for the communities that use them every day. You'll be trusted to get stuck in, work well with the team, and bring a safety‑first mindset to everything you do. If you enjoy practical work, take pride in doing the job properly, and are comfortable working in a changing environment, this might be the role for you.

The West Coast IDC contract involves roading maintenance, renewals and operational work for 870kms of state highways within the district, stretching from Haast in the south to Mokihinui in the north, and across to the main divide of the Southern Alps. It is a full‑time position, with work carried out across weekdays and, at times, outside normal hours to meet operational needs, weather events, or response requirements.
