You'll be on the tools across all sorts, drainage, subdivision work, site scrapes, and even some pretty cool projects like playgrounds and skateparks around Central Otago. Our client has got plenty of work lined up, and we're on the lookout for a solid machine operator to jump in and get amongst it.

They've got plenty of work lined up in this full time permanent role, and we're looking for a machine operator to get stuck in. If you're handy on the digger, not afraid of a bit of graft, and keen to mix it up day-to-day, this one's worth a look.

You'll be joining a tight-knit crew that backs each other on and off the field.

What's in it for you?
  • $35ph - $38ph + Paid travel + OT after 40 hrs

  • Wide variety of work, keeping the role fresh and challenging
