Full job description

Fernleaf Recruitment is growing and adding a Builder's Labourer to our Tauranga operation.

About Fernleaf Recruitment

A specialised building and civil construction staffing partner connecting employers with builders, tradespeople and site crews across the Bay of Plenty. Headquartered in Tauranga, founded in 2008, with a focus on long-term placement quality over volume.

About the role

You will support the crew through each stage of the build, from foundations and framing through to fit-out, following the foreman's daily plan and the site's health and safety rules under the Health and Safety at Work Act. Expect a mix of hand tools, power tools and some plant work as your tickets grow.

What you will bring

A full Class 1 licence and your own basic hand tools. Comfortable with heights, lifting and long days on your feet. Wheels, tracks and rollers tickets are an asset. You take instruction well, keep your area tidy and speak up when something looks unsafe.

Fernleaf Recruitment is recruiting this role on behalf of one of our client businesses. Apply through this listing and our team will follow up with role-specific details and next steps.

Required Qualifications

  • Wheels, tracks and rollers tickets an asset
  • Full Class 1 driver licence and reliable transport to site
  • The right to work in New Zealand
  • Willingness to work the odd Saturday during concrete pours and deadlines

Benefits

  • Clear pathway into an apprenticeship for the right person
  • KiwiSaver employer contributions from day one
  • Paid on-site training and tickets (WTR, EWP, Site Safe)
  • Team barbecue and end-of-project bonuses
