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.

Join our Timaru team in a truck driving role where your asphalt experience will make a real impact. This role is ideal for an experienced asphalt truck driver who enjoys being behind the wheel but is also happy to get stuck in with the crew when needed.

As our Truck Driver, you’ll help keep asphalt operations moving by hauling materials, towing trailers, loading and unloading, and supporting the team on site. It’s a hands‑on role with variety, responsibility, and the chance to be part of a crew that backs each other and takes pride in delivering good work safely and to a high standard.

• Drive and operate trucks and machinery safely and professionally across our Timaru worksites.
• Load, unload, tow transport trailers, and haul materials to and from site.
• Support the asphalt crew with hands‑on site work as required to help get the job done.
• Keep trucks and equipment compliant, presentable, and in safe working condition.
• Take part in pre‑starts, follow safety and quality processes, and speak up when something's not right.
• Solid hands‑on experience in asphalt operations and heavy vehicle driving.
• A current Class 4 licence minimum - Class 5, and W, T, R endorsements will be highly regarded.
• At least 3 years' practical heavy vehicle driving experience.
• A practical, reliable, safety‑first approach and the willingness to work as part of the crew, not just from the cab.
• A team‑focused attitude, good work ethic, and pride in delivering quality work every day.

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 how we do things. In Timaru, that means being part of a down‑to‑earth crew who back each other, get stuck in, and take pride in doing the job right. We can always be counted on to deliver to a high standard.

You’ll join a team with steady work, quality equipment, a strong safety culture, and people who are easy to work with. We take the work seriously, not ourselves, and we’re always looking for good people who want to build their skills and keep moving forward.
