Civil Machine Operator
Located in Ohoka, Canterbury | Long-Term Project | $28~$35 (Experience Dependant)
About the role
A major new subdivision is kicking off in Ohoka, with a second stage expected to follow directly across the road. If both stages run as planned, there's potential for a long pipeline of continuous work. That's a rare thing in civil, and we're after operators who want to settle into a long run rather than chase the next short job.
This is an operating role first and foremost, so if you've got seat time and the tickets to back it up, we want to hear from you.
The gear
- 13-tonne loader
- Single and twin drum rollers
- Excavators up to 20-tonne
You don't need to have run all of it, but the more boxes you tick, the better the rate.
What you'll need
- Current WTR endorsement (essential)
- Site Safe (essential)
- Proven experience operating civil plant
- Previous subdivision experience is a big advantage
- Class 1 licence and reliable transport to Ohoka
- Able to pass a pre-employment drug test and police check
What's on offer
- $28~35/hr depending on tickets and what you can operate
- Ongoing work, regular overtime
- Well-maintained gear and a site team that runs things properly
Apply now with your CV, or you can forward it directly to Anna at anna.bailey@enterprise.co.nz
