We’re looking for an STMS Civil Labourer to join a busy Christchurch civil team for a 5-month fixed-term assignment starting in September.

This is a great opportunity for someone who knows their way around a civil site, takes safety seriously and isn’t afraid to get stuck in. You’ll be helping keep the site safe, tidy and moving in the right direction – because cones don’t place themselves!

  • Guaranteed 5-month fixed-term assignment
  • Christchurch-based work
  • Opportunity to build your civil experience
  • Be part of a hardworking and supportive team
  • Plenty of variety – no sitting around waiting for the day to end!

What You Will Be Doing

  • Carrying out civil labouring duties across the site
  • Supporting traffic management operations
  • Helping maintain a safe and organised work environment
  • Following site safety procedures and instructions
  • Working effectively as part of a wider civil crew
  • Keeping the site clean, tidy and hazard-free
  • Pitching in wherever needed to help keep the job on track

What We Require

  • Current STMS ticket – essential
  • Site Safe – required
  • WTR endorsement would be an advantage
  • Good understanding of civil site safety
  • Reliable and hardworking attitude
  • Ability to work well as part of a team
  • Own transport to get to site is preferred
