Smartway Builders

Full Time


$40 - $45 per hour


CLOSING DATE BELOW IF SPECIFIED


Description


Be involved in a wide range of projects, including renovations, structural work and new builds


Be part of a team of great builders delivering great results for our clients


Get some enjoyment back into your day, plus a work-life balance


Are you currently leading a building team, or have a strong desire and ability to step up? We want to talk to you.


We are a company that values its people and actively seeks to grow talent. We have a pipeline of building projects coming up over the next few years, so if you are looking for a change to a people-focused company, look no further. We have ensured our people are developed and supported, and you will be a big part of helping us grow well-rounded professionals


What's in it for you? Imagine a job where you are part of a positive group of humans where people matter. We all work hard, so wouldn't you want to work for people who notice your achievements and where you are appreciated rather than being a cog in a wheel?


Generally, we avoid working weekends unless we have a project requiring extra short-term effort. Long gone are those 70-80 hour weeks. That's not how we treat people at Smartway Builders.


Being decent employers is essential to us, and we guarantee you will feel that difference when you work here. So do our clients and subcontractors.


In this role, we will work collaboratively with you, focus on learning and continuous improvement, and ask that you do the same. We also offer a competitive hourly rate.


About You


You are a fully qualified builder with a minimum 5+ years' New Zealand experience across various construction types and have good technical expertise. You work to high standards and have a passion for the quality of the finished product.


You enjoy helping others, and you want to work for a forward-focused company. In addition, you want a future with a company that treats its people well.


You are great with clients and able to communicate well. In addition, you get great satisfaction from helping other builders learn their trade and become true craftsmen. The skills and abilities we are seeking include the following:


Fully qualified with 5+ years of solid experience in New Zealand residential construction


Experience and interest in mentoring upcoming builders


Commitment to Health and Safety protocols


A strong work ethic and commitment to your team


Good communication


Full driver's licence and vehicle fit for purpose to carry materials and tools to run a residential construction project (Van or Ute)


About the role


As a Senior Qualified Builder, you will own and lead projects, plus upskill the others and help drive a highly collaborative team. We work with an exceptional team of builders at various stages in their careers.



You will provide guidance, direction and support, along with working collaboratively with others.


Our people turn out good quality work with a focus on C.A.N.I. … Constant And Never-ending Improvement.


About Us


Smartway Builders was founded on the belief that quality work and partnering with our clients leads to exceptional results for all.


We work together collaboratively and look to help and inspire each other, so our people and our clients win. We strive for excellence, but your wellness is just as essential. We know it's a tough industry, and we are interested in the well-being of all our people.


We are focused on delivering top-quality residential renovations, additions and alterations, structural upgrades, as well as new builds, and we work with absolute professionals to get the best end result. Our focus is as much on our people as on our clients and the results.
