About The Role

If you know your way around hot mix and take pride in a clean, sharp finish, we want to hear from you.

We’re on the lookout for an experienced Asphalt Raker to join a busy civil surfacing crew working across Canterbury. You’ll be part of a tight-knit team delivering quality work across roading, subdivisions, and commercial projects. This is hands-on, physical work where your attention to detail and ability to keep up with the pace will set you apart.

What’s In It For You

  • Consistent, ongoing work
  • Weekly pay – no chasing your money
  • Work alongside skilled, experienced crews
  • Solid pipeline of projects across the region
  • Supportive team that values hard work

What You Will Be Doing

  • Raking and levelling hot mix asphalt
  • Assisting with asphalt laying and finishing
  • Working closely with paver operators and roller drivers
  • Ensuring a high-quality finish on all surfaces
  • Supporting general site labouring as required
  • Following health and safety procedures at all times

What We Require

  • Proven experience as an Asphalt Raker
  • Background in roading or civil surfacing
  • Good understanding of asphalt placement and finishing
  • Strong work ethic and reliability
  • Ability to work well in a fast-paced team
  • Valid Site Safe or Construct Safe – we can assist with this
  • Ability to pass a pre-employment drug test

If you’re someone who takes pride in a tidy finish and doesn’t mind getting stuck in, this is a great opportunity to lock in steady work with a solid crew.
