Description

We are seeking an Incident Response Driver to join our Waterview Tunnel team based in Auckland. This is an exciting opportunity for an individual with experience in incident response to join a team that makes an impact.


About the Role

As an Incident Response Driver, you’ll be part of a dedicated team keeping the Waterview Connection safe and moving. You’ll respond to a wide range of incidents, support emergency services, and help maintain tunnel infrastructure. This is a hands-on role where being calm, practical, and people-focused is key. 

You’ll work a continuous 24/7 roster with shift pattern of four 12-hour days, four days off, four 12-hour nights, four days off.

  • Respond to incidents including crashes, breakdowns, and hazards
  • Manage incident scenes and liaise with emergency services
  • Provide temporary traffic management and assist motorists
  • Support tunnel maintenance and reactive repairs
  • Maintain incident logs and contribute to safety planning

What you’ll bring to the role

We’re looking for someone keen, sensible, and ready to learn. You’ll be trained on the job, but a practical mindset and strong people skills are essential.

  • Full NZ Class 2 Driver’s Licence and First Aid certification
  • CoPTTM Cat A qualification 
  • Experience in incident response or road environments (desirable)
  • Basic mechanical knowledge and computer literacy
  • Resilience and quick thinking under pressure
  • Ability to work autonomously and in a team


About Us

We pride ourselves on safely delivering a wide variety of construction and infrastructure projects for the people of New Zealand and the South Pacific. But our power is not in what we do, it’s in who we are. We are a team of 3,700 people working under three brands: Fletcher Construction, Higgins, and Brian Perry Civil. We may be a big team, but we haven’t lost sight of what really matters: looking after our people.

We recognise that treating our people well is only partially about what happens during work hours. It’s also about the impact we have outside of work hours too. That’s why we have incredible learning and development opportunities for staff and their families, industry-leading parental leave, support systems and generous corporate discounts.

We are proud of our diversity and see it as one of the things that make us better together.
