Supervisor

Ready for your next challenge in civil construction prior to Christmas? We're seeking an experienced Civil Supervisor or Foreperson to join a Wellington-based team. While experience with gravel extraction, rock placement and working around rivers would be beneficial, the key requirement is proven site supervision within a civil environment. In this role, you'll oversee day-to-day site operations and productivity, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to a high standard for both clients and the wider community.
  
Key Responsibilities:

• Coordinate and lead site crews, providing day-to-day direction to ensure construction activities are delivered safely, efficiently and in accordance with project specifications.
• Promote a positive site culture by mentoring team members, supporting their development and encouraging high performance across the team.
• Oversee plant and machinery operations, ensuring equipment is maintained, pre-start inspections are completed and defects are promptly reported.
• Maintain accurate site records and progress reporting, while identifying hazards, reporting incidents and near misses, and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives.

Experience:

• Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to motivate crews, build positive site culture and keep projects running smoothly.
• Proven experience supervising civil construction projects, ideally with exposure to earthworks, gravel extraction, rock placement or river-based works.
• A solid understanding of health and safety requirements, environmental controls and quality management practices.
• A hands-on, practical approach with the fitness and resilience to work outdoors in a range of weather conditions.
• Full legal rights to work in New Zealand.
