  • Demonstrable knowledge of high-risk concrete construction processes and New Zealand health & safety regulations is REQUIRED. (This is essential for compliance and integration).
  • Strong organisational, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Mandatory Level 3 Health & Safety certification or higher; ongoing training in H&S in Construction is advantageous.
  • Ability to travel domestically and occasionally internationally for work.
