About the Role
Unite Recruit is looking for experienced Civil Class 2 Labourers with WTR endorsements to join civil construction crews across Christchurch and Ashburton.

This is a temporary/contract opportunity that could lead to a permanent position with our client for the right person.
What You’ll Be Doing
Carrying out general civil labouring duties, including site preparation, clean-up and manual handling.
Using WTR endorsements where required and operating machinery within your competency.
Supporting operators and other crew members to keep projects running safely and efficiently.
Following site safety procedures and maintaining a clean, organised worksite.
What We’re Looking For
Proven civil construction experience is essential.
Current Class 2 licence with WTR endorsements is essential.
Not afraid to roll up your sleeves and carry out physical labouring duties.
Reliable, punctual and able to work well as part of a team.
Strong commitment to health and safety on site.
Able to follow instructions and work in a fast-paced civil construction environment.
What’s On Offer?
$28–$34 per hour, depending on experience.
Opportunities to work on civil projects across Christchurch and Ashburton.
Temporary/contract work with the potential to secure a permanent role with our client.
Support from the Unite Recruit team throughout your assignment.
Ready to Get Stuck In?
If you have proven civil experience, hold your Class 2 licence with WTR endorsements, and are happy to combine machinery operation with hands-on labouring, we want to hear from you.
