The Role:

We have an opening for an Underground Services Labourer to join our Contracting team. This position will involve being out

in the field, which includes rural and suburban properties, as part of a small team with the main responsibility being the

installation of high-voltage and fibre cables. Driving a small truck will be required, so the ability to operate a manual vehicle

is crucial. All the work you perform will be done while promoting and practising positive health and safety.

Got what it takes?

• Hold a current Class 1 & 2 driver’s licence (or willing to obtain Class 2 ASAP)

• At least 6 months experience in the Civil Industry

• Previous experience operating mechanical equipment

• Capable of demanding physical work

• Be a team player with good communication skills

• Class 3,4 & 5 licences / WTR F endorsements viewed favourably, although not essential

On Offer:

We offer competitive remuneration, an active Social Club with activities throughout the year, discounted gym/fitness centre

memberships, an expansive break room, a 9-day fortnight and on-site staff parking. You’ll get to work with like-minded people

who are passionate about keeping the lights and internet on throughout the Ashburton District. Being a part of the Ashburton

District means you’re a part of a strong supportive community with a great semi-rural lifestyle. With a variety of local dining

services, and excellent skiing, hunting, tramping and fishing spots nearby, you’ll be spoiled for choice. As it’s only a 60-minute

drive from Christchurch Airport, it doesn’t take long to experience city life.
