Description

At Winstone Aggregates, we help shape New Zealand’s communities by supplying the materials that underpin our roads, homes, and infrastructure. With a proud history in quarrying and aggregates, Winstone Aggregates operates a national network of quarries, laboratories, cleanfills, and transport services, and is part of the wider Fletcher Building group.

What you’ll be doing

  • Supporting preventative and corrective maintenance across a wide range of fixed plant equipment
  • Working collaboratively with the Quarry Manager, site teams, and contractors to prioritise and complete maintenance tasks
  • Identifying root causes of recurring issues and contributing thoughtful, long‑term solutions
  • Completing welding, fabrication, and cutting work as required
  • Actively promoting safe work practices and supporting HS&E initiatives
  • Contributing ideas that improve reliability, productivity, and site safety

What you’ll bring

  • A completed engineering apprenticeship (fitter, fitter/turner, fitter/welder or similar)
  • Practical experience maintaining industrial or quarry plant
  • A current First Aid certificate and commitment to health and safety
  • Clear communication skills and a collaborative, team‑focused approach
  • Confidence working independently, with care, integrity, and attention to detail
  • Comfort working in physically demanding environments, including confined spaces and at heights

Why join Winstone Aggregates

  • A supportive, down‑to‑earth team that values cooperation and shared success
  • Strong safety culture with clear systems and expectations
  • Stable, long‑term employment within a well‑established New Zealand business
  • Competitive remuneration and benefits aligned to experience
  • Opportunities to contribute ideas and make a genuine impact at site level
If you enjoy hands‑on engineering work, take pride in doing things properly, and value being part of a team that looks out for one another, we’d love to hear from you.
