Job description

Want a role where you're out in the field, operating machinery, backing your crew, and getting stuck into good work every day? We're looking for a Driver Operator to join Fulton Hogan and help deliver work safely, on time, and to a high standard.

This is a hands-on role where you'll complete machine operating and general labouring tasks, work closely with your Foreperson or Supervisor, and play a real part in keeping jobs moving. You'll be trusted to work safely, think ahead, and pitch in where needed.

• Operate plant and machinery as directed by your Foreperson or Supervisor.
• Complete labouring tasks such as lifting and shifting materials, operating handheld equipment, measuring and cutting materials, and other general site duties.
• Take part in pre-starts and risk planning, and follow all safety, environmental, and quality processes on site.
• Report incidents, accidents, and near misses, and speak up if something does not look right.
• Look for better, safer ways of working and contribute positively to the team.
• A current Class 1 licence, with Class 2 and W, T, R endorsements preferred.
• A strong focus on safety, wellbeing, and doing the job the right way.
• A practical mindset and comfort with hands-on, outdoor work.
• A reliable, team-focused attitude with a willingness to learn and follow instructions.
• Pride in their work and a down to earth approach that fits a low ego crew.

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.

At Fulton Hogan, Good Work is 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 not big on hierarchy or titles for the sake of it. We work side by side, back good ideas, and keep things human. We take the work seriously, not ourselves. That means a relaxed vibe day to day, but when it counts, especially around safety, quality, and delivery, we switch on.

If you want a role where you can build your skills, work with good people, and be part of a team doing work that matters, this could be the place for you.
