Site Works Foreperson & Civil Foreperson

Mosgiel-based | Two Opportunities Available

SouthRoads Ltd is a progressive civil construction contractor with strong Southland and Otago roots. We're proud to support the communities we work in and operate one of the most modern and reliable construction fleets in New Zealand. As part of the HW Richardson Group, we stand by values of family, friendship and fair dealings.

We're currently looking to fill two roles - an experienced Site Works Foreperson and an experienced Civil Foreperson - to join our Mosgiel-based team.

These are hands-on leadership roles suited to people who lead from the front, take pride in quality outcomes, and aren't afraid to roll up their sleeves. You'll be supporting projects across Dunedin, with occasional work in the Clutha and Waitaki districts (yes, we'll help with directions).

What we're looking for:

You'll bring proven experience in civil construction or site works, ideally in a foreperson or senior supervisory role. You're confident leading and motivating teams, ensuring work is completed safely, on time and to specification. You have solid technical knowledge across civil works, including site preparation and concrete works, and you're comfortable reading and interpreting plans and specifications.

The ability to pass a pre-employment medical and drug test is required.

Why SouthRoads?

At SouthRoads, our people are at the heart of what we do. We offer stable, local work, a supportive team environment and the opportunity to grow your career with a company that genuinely invests in its people.

If you're ready to step into a leadership role with a respected civil contractor and be part of a team that backs each other… apply now.
