• Willingness to assist with other machinery or general labouring when required
• Good awareness of health and safety
• Reliable, hardworking and able to take pride in your work
• Able to pass pre-employment checks, including a drug test
• Must have legal working rights in New Zealand, as sponsorship is not available for this role

• Permanent, full-time position
• Immediate start available
• Competitive pay rates based on experience
• Variety of work across the Queenstown area
• Join a small, supportive and hardworking team
• Opportunity to work across a range of civil projects and machinery
