About us

Bryce O’Sullivan Contracting Ltd (BOSCO) is a well-established and highly regarded civil contracting firm servicing Wellington and the lower North Island. We specialise in civil construction, earth-moving, drainage infrastructure, roading and subdivision infrastructure.

Over the years BOSCO has grown from delivering residential site-works to managing large-scale infrastructure, earthworks and quarry / roading projects for private and public sector clients.

• Background in civil engineering, construction management, or operational management — you may come from a civil engineering background or from an operational background, provided you have managed projects.
• Strong knowledge of civil construction disciplines: earthworks, drainage, roading, land development, subdivision infrastructure.
• Excellent contract administration (with an emphasis on NZS3910 contracts) and financial management capabilities
• Great communication and stakeholder management skills, with a solutions orientated approach.
• Solid organisational and planning skills; able to manage multiple projects/priorities simultaneously.
• Ability to work collaboratively with site foremen and teams, and to support on-site operations from an office / administrative position when needed.
• Results-driven attitude and team player.
