The civil and infrastructure sector in New Zealand has had a busy start to 2019 but that’s nothing compared to what is coming over the next few years and the foreseeable future. The industry is already working at capacity and before the end of the year two further projects in Auckland will be underway, with a combined value of over $4 billion. The number of foreman and supervisors required to complete those projects, as well as all the other work, is still being assessed but contractors know that the majority of those new hires will come from overseas.

Projects vary and so your experience could be from any number of disciplines including water, road, tunnelling, structures, heavy civil, marine, concrete, earthworks, piling, maintenance, utilities, rail and general civils. In your role as Foreman/Supervisor you will be link between the engineering team and the trades on the ground. Your solution based approach will complement the engineers on site allowing the project to move forward without delay. You will work closely with employees, trades and subcontractors, making sure that health and safety practices are adhered to and that all round best practice is followed. Other desirable qualities include,

• Site based experience with a contractor
• Excellent man management skills
• good communication and IT skills

Whether it’s an opportunity to work overseas temporarily or the chance to make a permanent move, New Zealand has it all. Much of the work is focused on the North Island, around the large population areas, but there are also requirements in the provinces with opportunities to suit all tastes. Successful candidates will receive an excellent salary and package that includes a vehicle and relocation assistance.
