The Opportunity

We're looking for a reliable and practical Cyclic Patrolperson to join our team across the Mokau and Taumarunui area. In this hands-on role, you'll patrol designated roads, identify network defects and complete routine and emergency maintenance to help ensure the network remains safe for public use.

  • Completing daily reports, vehicle checks and plant pre-starts
  • Liaising professionally with residents and other stakeholders
  • Ensuring all work is completed safely and to the required standards

This position includes participation in an after-hours call-out roster and requires the ability to respond promptly to emergency situations with the appropriate equipment.

Important Skills

  • The ability to manage unexpected events and find practical solutions
  • A systematic and organised approach to your work
  • The confidence to work effectively with minimal supervision
  • A current Class 2 driver licence, which is essential
  • A Class 4 driver licence, or the willingness and ability to achieve one in the future, would be an advantage
