Description

Want to shape safety outcomes on a transformative project? Fletcher Construction is looking for a Health & Safety professional to join our team for Te Wai Takamori o Te Awa Kairangi (Te Awa Kairangi). If you can turn safety principles into practical actions, we’d love to hear from you.


About the Role

You’ll work closely with our site teams to lead and support practical health and safety initiatives across the project.
  • Leading site inductions, toolbox talks and H&S committee meetings that engage and inform
  • Support the implementation of project specific safety plans, systems and procedures
  • Conduct site inspections, audits and critical control verifications 
  • Manage site health and safety equipment and ensure proper use of PPE
  • Assist with incident investigations and ensuring correct actions are followed through


What you’ll bring to the role
  • National Certificate of Health & Safety Level 4 or equivalent is beneficial
  • Experience in construction, infrastructure or heavy industry (we’re open to rising coordinators through to seasoned advisors and those seeking a career change!)
  • Confidence to build rapport with everyone from frontline crews and subcontractors to project leadership.
  • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings
  • Excellent communication, coaching and conflict resolution skills 
  • A proactive eye for detail and genuine passion for sending people home safe every day

About Te Awa Kairangi 

Te Awa Kairangi Alliance is delivering transport, walking and cycling improvements to the SH2 Melling interchange and rail station, as part of a wider flood protection and city revitalisation programme. 

Fletcher Construction is working with Alliance partners AECOM, NZTA, Taranaki Whānui and Ngāti Toa Rangatira to deliver this transformative project. Design is underway and construction is due to commence in late 2025.


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.


Interested? Apply Now! 

We are actively looking to fill this role and encourage your early application. Applications are reviewed regularly, and we reserve the right to remove the advertisement before the advertised closing date.

Research shows that females and minority groups don’t always apply for roles unless they match 100% of the requirements. So, if this role is of interest but you feel you don’t quite fit, we encourage you to apply anyway. We are enriched by many nationalities, languages, religions, customs, and lifestyles. We are proud of our diversity and see it as one of the things that make us better together.
