Description

The Green Team in Tauranga is looking for a permanent full time Labourer to join the Asphalt team. 

You will need to have dirt on your boots and be ready to get stuck in.  The role includes general labouring duties and is an opportunity for someone fit and keen to learn.   We are offering not just a job but a stepping-stone into a career with the support of a company that knows how important our Teams are in delivering what we do best – Roading and Infrastructure.

Come join the Green Team:
  • Grow and develop in a supportive team who treat each other like Whānau

  • Develop into an Operator / Driver – support to gain more licenses
  • Awesome benefits for you and your family to enjoy, including funding towards school holiday programmes and tutoring for children
  • Brand new PPE gear (that’s your own personal protective equipment)

What you’ll bring to the role:
  • Class 1 Driver Licence and reliable transport
  • WTR endorsement and Asphalt work experience is beneficial
  • Strong focus on health and safety not only for yourself, your colleagues but also the public
  • Self-motivated with a positive attitude and the ability to think for yourself
  • A high level of physical fitness due to the physical nature of the role
