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.

We're looking for a Network Inspector to join our team and help keep the network safe, compliant and running well. Reporting to the Operations Manager, you'll inspect roads and associated assets, identify faults, assess work requirements and make sure quality information is loaded into the AWM system.

This is a role for someone who backs good work with sharp judgement, strong attention to detail and a practical mindset. You'll be trusted to spot issues early, support evidence-based decision making and help optimise network activities for the long term. Day or night, when it counts, you'll switch on and help us deliver the standard our clients and communities rely on.

• Inspect the network in line with programmed frequencies, including day and night inspections.
• Identify, assess and log faults in AWM, including maintenance needs, safety hazards and routine or ordered work.
• Assign fault severity, size work requirements and provide clear evidence to support decision making.
• Support safe, quality delivery by following Fulton Hogan systems, reporting incidents and looking for better, safer ways of working.
• Build strong working relationships with operational teams, clients and key stakeholders while helping deliver programme KPIs.
• At least 5 years' relevant experience in road maintenance, network inspections or similar infrastructure environments.
• Strong knowledge of road assets, maintenance contract requirements, AWM, Work Manager and Mobile AWM.
• A BE, NZCE, diploma in engineering or relevant industry experience, along with any relevant safety certification.
• A current Class 1 driver licence and the ability to carry out the inherent requirements of the role.
• Sound judgement, a safety-first mindset, strong communication skills and a practical, team-focused approach.

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 after the eligibility period.
• Life insurance.
• 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 what ties us together. It's how we show up, how we treat each other and how we get the job done. We're not big on hierarchy or ego. We work side by side, back good ideas and keep moving forward.

Our values drive everything we do: Respect, Energy & Effort, Attitude and Leadership. We take the work seriously, not ourselves. That means a friendly, down-to-earth team culture, balanced with high standards where safety, quality and doing the right thing matter every day.

If you want a role where you can bring your experience, use your judgement and make a real impact without the stiff corporate vibe, you'll fit right in.

At Fulton Hogan, we celebrate and support diversity in our team and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds.

All successful candidates must under-go and pass a pre-employment medical and drug screen.
