Engineer

Role Title: Surfacing Engineer

Location: Nelson

Contract Type: Full Time

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a motivated Engineer to join our Surfacing team in the Nelson Region. In this role you’ll contribute to the day-to-day management of our existing surfacing operations while helping ensure high standards of safety, quality, and service are consistently achieved.

You’ll work closely with the Asphalt Department Manager to support the planning and delivery of the forward works programme, ensuring Fulton Hogan and our client’s expectations are met.

Your key responsibilities will be to support with:

• Programme planning and job management
• Pricing, tendering and securing work
• Processing daily job records and client claiming
• Creating, processing and providing relevant QA documentation
• Field work and crew assistance
• Ensuring all work is completed in line with work instructions, client specifications and job-specific standards.  

This role combines hands-on operational support with our crews and office-based assistance for the Department Manager.

What you’ll bring

Our ideal candidate will have previous surfacing or construction experience.  However, it is not essential as we will provide full training for the right candidate.   If you have always thought about applying for a role but don’t have an engineering qualification this could be for you!

You’ll ideally have:

• Experience in surfacing or construction would be an advantage but not a show stopper
• A strong commitment to teamwork and a willingness to learn new skills for personal development
• A focus on maintaining high safety and quality standards, with an eye for detail
• High motivation and a strong work ethic
• A high level of proficiency in MS Office skills
• Excellent communication skills
• Full class 1 Driver’s Licence, with Class 2 being an advantage

Good work, good benefits

At Fulton Hogan, we genuinely care about the wellbeing of our people and give them the tools and opportunities they need to succeed and grow with us. You’ll have access to:

• Medical insurance after the eligibility period

• KiwiSaver employer contributions after service milestones, up to 7%

• Ongoing training and development, with clear career growth and progression opportunities

• Great discounts at a wide range of retailers
