About the Role We are seeking expressions of interest from qualified individuals who are ready for an adventure. The deployment is expected to begin in October 2025 and continue through March 2026. These roles require a strong work ethic and a commitment to teamwork, as you will be living and working in a challenging environment for several months. As part of our team, you will be involved in a large commercial construction project. Your responsibilities will include delivering parts and materials, assisting the Logistics Supervisor with daily operations, and operating plant machinery such as Bobcats and Telehandlers. To qualify, you will need to hold a Class 2 Driver License with WTR endorsements. Requirements Due to travel restrictions, we can only accept applications from New Zealand and US citizens with New Zealand or US passports who are currently living and working in New Zealand.

Start dates may vary based on medical and dental checks, security clearance, notice periods, and flight availability. Candidates must successfully pass a pre-employment drug and alcohol test and possess a clean criminal record. The application process can be lengthy, so patience is essential.
