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.

Want a role where you can lead from the front without the big ego stuff? We're looking for a Leading Hand to join Fulton Hogan and help deliver good work with a crew that backs each other.

This is a practical, hands-on role where you'll support the Foreperson or Supervisor, operate machinery, help keep daily work flowing, and step up when needed. You'll be trusted to bring the right attitude, work safely, and help lift the people around you.

• Support daily workflow on site and help the team deliver work safely, on time, and to a high standard.
• Complete labouring and machine operating tasks, including equipment checks, material handling, and maintaining a clean and tidy site.
• Take part in pre-starts, understand hazards and controls, and follow all safety, environmental and quality requirements.
• Operate machinery and tools safely and only when trained, competent and licensed to do so.
• Help guide less experienced team members and step into the Foreperson's role when required.
• Current Class 2 licence and W, T, R endorsements.
• Experience working on civil or construction sites, including traffic management requirements.
• STMS Level 1 and First Aid certification preferred.
• A practical mindset and confidence with hands-on, outdoor work in varying conditions.
• A reliable, proactive, team-focused attitude and pride in doing good work.

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 isn't just what we do. It's how we do it. We're not big on hierarchy or red tape. We work side by side, back good ideas, and trust our people to make an impact.

We're serious about safety, delivery, and quality. But we're also human. We take the work seriously, not ourselves. If you want to be part of a team that's down to earth, forward moving, and up for the challenge, you'll feel right at home here.
