  • Market-leading parental leave – because family comes first.
  • Fletcher Building share scheme – invest in your future with us.

What You’ll Bring
  • 5+ years’ technical experience in asphalt paving and compaction methodologies.
  • Proven ability to plan, resource, and deliver projects efficiently.
  • Strong leadership skills to motivate and influence your crew.
