Downer has been designing, building and sustaining New Zealand's infrastructure for over a century and is a leading provider of integrated services in Australia and New Zealand.

With over 12,000 employees in New Zealand, we work alongside some of New Zealand's biggest businesses, councils and government agencies.

Downer New Zealand is a leading provider of integrated services. Our commitment to building long term relationships and supporting our customers with high calibre services and solutions; the talents of our people; and consistent excellence in operational delivery sets us apart.

The Transport Services division here at Downer has a great track record for delivering a high standard of work in Mid-South Canterbury Region.

  • Stable working environment and enjoy the work-life balance we have to offer
  • Full Time hours guaranteed - minimum 80 hours per fortnight
  • Extensive training and development opportunities to help enhance your skills and advance your career

About the role:

In this role you will be working in a diverse and welcoming crew operating our machinery from excavators, rollers and trucks as we carry out work throughout the region.

If you are physically fit, enjoy spending your days outdoors and on your feet, this could be the position for you.
