Job Description

Looking for something a little different from the usual construction role?

We’re recruiting for an established New Zealand company looking for an experienced Senior Installer to join their Auckland team.

This is a genuinely hands-on role. You’ll be on the tools, working alongside a small crew carrying out specialist installation, construction, coating and maintenance work across a range of commercial projects.

You’ll also take the lead onsite when required - helping organise the crew, keeping jobs moving, talking with clients and making sure the work is completed safely and to a high standard.

Projects will take you throughout New Zealand and occasionally into the Pacific Islands, so this will suit someone who enjoys being out on site, travelling with work and doing something different from the usual building job.

You don’t need experience in this particular industry. Full specialist training will be provided. We’re more interested in finding someone with a solid trade or construction background who is practical, reliable and confident leading by example.

What you'll be doing

Working hands-on across specialist installation and construction projects
Using hand and power tools daily
Carrying, preparing, measuring, cutting and installing materials
Completing specialist timber installation, coating and maintenance work
Working alongside and leading small crews onsite
Setting up sites and preparing materials and equipment for upcoming jobs
Making sure work is completed safely, efficiently and to a high standard
Reading plans, taking measurements and solving practical issues onsite
Liaising with clients and contractors while on site
Helping train and support junior installers and labourers
Loading, unloading and transporting tools and materials
Travelling throughout New Zealand and occasionally to the Pacific Islands

What we're looking for

Minimum 5 years' construction or trade experience
Strong hands-on practical ability
Comfortable working on the tools every day
Experience leading workers or small crews would be highly regarded
Confident using hand and power tools
Able to measure accurately and work from plans or instructions
Good practical problem-solving skills
Physically fit and comfortable with manual work
High standards around workmanship and attention to detail
Comfortable dealing with clients onsite
Flexible and genuinely happy travelling regularly for work
Full NZ Class 2 driver licence
Confident driving manual vehicles
NZ citizen with a current NZ passport
Ability to pass police and site access checks
Keen to learn a specialist trade and develop long term
Carpenters, builders, roofers, flooring installers, painters, joiners, fabricators and experienced construction workers are all encouraged to apply.

What's on offer

Strong remuneration package based on experience
Away-from-home allowance
All flights and accommodation covered while travelling
Company van and phone
Full specialist training
Nationwide travel
Long-term career progression
Opportunity to move into further leadership as the team grows
* Varied projects with plenty of autonomy
If you’re an experienced tradie who still enjoys being hands-on and wants something different from the usual construction role, this could be a great move.
