About the Company

Stones Electrical is a well-established electrical contracting company that has been powering the Kāpiti Coast and greater Wellington region for over 40 years. With a 70+ strong team, a loyal client base and a solid pipeline of commercial work, we've built our reputation on one motto: Do it once, Do it right, Do it on time.

Our Commercial Division is busy and growing, with a strong forward workload of commercial projects across the region. We're looking for capable Site Managers to lead our crews on the ground and deliver the quality our name is known for.

About the Role

As a Commercial Site Manager, you'll be the driving force on site — running the day-to-day delivery of commercial electrical projects, leading our site crews, and working closely with our Project Managers to keep every job on programme, on budget and up to standard.

Key Responsibilities

On-Site Delivery:

      Run the day-to-day electrical works on commercial projects from setup to handover

      Lead, coordinate and support site crews of electricians and apprentices

      Plan ahead — labour, materials, plant and access — so the job never stalls

      Maintain quality assurance, test documentation and as-built records

Coordination & Compliance:

      Work in step with Project Managers on programme, variations and progress reporting

      Liaise with main contractors, other trades and site management daily

      Champion health & safety on site — toolbox talks, task analysis, incident reporting

      Uphold our standards on every install — our name is on every job

What We're Looking For

      Registered Electrician with a current NZ practising licence

      Proven experience running commercial sites or leading crews as a foreman/supervisor

      Strong ability to read and interpret drawings, specs and programmes

      A natural leader who gets the best out of a crew and keeps other trades onside

      Well organised, safety-focused and calm when the pressure comes on

      Full NZ Driver's Licence

What's in it for You?

      Long-term role with a stable, 40+ year-old company that looks after its people

      Competitive package (negotiable based on experience)

      Vehicle, phone and tools of trade provided

      A strong pipeline of interesting commercial projects across the region

      Supportive Project Managers and an experienced back office behind you

      Real career progression — many of our leaders started on the tools with us
