Earn $45.67 to $64.91/hr operating civil plant in the Northern Territory. Accommodation and vehicle included. Real money, real civil work.
Why Apply

Tired of the same NZ civil sites paying the same average rates? This is a chance to earn serious money operating real plant on infrastructure projects in the NT, with your accommodation and vehicle covered on top.
  • Earn $45.67 to $64.91/hr plus super, working 60 to 70 hours a week across a 6-day roster. Your take-home adds up fast.
  • Accommodation and a vehicle are both provided. No rent to sort, no car to worry about. More of your pay stays in your pocket.
  • Work across excavators, loaders, skid steers, rollers, graders, and water carts on earthworks, drainage, roadworks, and real civil infrastructure.
  • Build experience across a wide variety of plant and civil disciplines. The more machines you can operate, the more valuable you become.
  • Join a crew with a solid pipeline of NT projects. This is not a short-term contract. There is ongoing work here for the right operator.
The Role

You will be operating civil construction plant across a range of projects in and around Alice Springs. The work is hands-on, varied, and out in the open. No two days are the same.
  • Operating excavators, loaders, skid steers, rollers, graders, and water carts
  • Carrying out excavation, trenching, backfilling, bulk earthworks, and final trim
  • Working to set levels and grades using plans, string lines, lasers, and GPS
  • Trenching for stormwater, drainage, electrical, and communications services
  • Assisting with lifting and placing pipes, pits, kerbs, and other infrastructure
  • Conducting daily pre-start checks and keeping plant logbooks up to date
  • Working closely with supervisors, engineers, and other operators on site
  • Maintaining a safe worksite and following SWMS and site safety plans
What We Need
  • Proven experience operating plant in a civil construction environment
  • Valid driver licence (non-negotiable)
  • Construction White Card
  • Relevant plant tickets or VOCs across excavator, loader, skid steer, roller, or grader
  • Experience with trenching, drainage, and bulk earthworks
  • Willingness to relocate to Alice Springs and commit to 6-day, 60 to 70-hour weeks
Why This Role

The rates here are well above what most civil operators are earning back home, and with accommodation and a vehicle included your costs are minimal. You will get exposure to a broad range of plant and civil work that keeps your skills sharp and your options open. If you want a couple of years that actually set you up financially, this is worth the move.
