On-site
Christchurch, New Zealand

We are recruiting on behalf of a well-established civil and piling contractor looking for an experienced Drilling/Piling Operator to join their team on a permanent basis.

  • Operating 40-60T piling and drilling equipment
  • Supporting piling operations both in the cab and on the ground
  • Assisting with general site duties
  • Working away from home when projects require
  • Maintaining strong health and safety standards

This is a practical, hands-on role for someone who is happy to jump out of the machine and work alongside the crew.

What's in it for you:

  • Competitive pay rates
  • Work vehicle provided, including fuel card
  • Away and travel allowances
  • Permanent, long-term role
  • Variety of projects across NZ

What we're looking for:
