What they need
A well-established builder in Southland is experiencing strong growth, with a clear increase in pipeline across the region. As a result, they’re looking to add an additional Construction Supervisor to the team — this is a genuine growth role, not a replacement.
You’ll be joining a team of two established Supervisors, with solid support both locally and nationally, plus the systems and training to set you up for success.
Residential projects typically range from $600K to $1.8M, covering everything from standard homes through to bespoke, architectural builds.
Why this role is different
- Strong forward workload – consistent pipeline of residential builds
- Autonomy – help supervise the builds without being micromanaged
- Step-up opportunity – full training and support provided
- Established team – join two experienced Supervisors
- Backed by a national network – systems, tools, and support in place
- Lifestyle – short commutes, tight-knit team, solid work/life balance
What the day-to-day actually looks like
This isn’t a 6am–6pm, 6-day grind. The role offers genuine flexibility and a solid work/life balance.
- Flexible hours — manage your day
- Travel across Southland — variety across sites
- More time with family — be home for dinner
- Autonomy - help run the builds
- Tight-knit - down-to-earth team, no egos
- Outdoors lifestyle — hunting, fishing, weekends free
The Role
You’ll manage multiple residential builds across Southland.
Day to day:
- Managing site programmes and keeping builds on track
- Coordinating subbies and suppliers
- Running site meetings and ensuring quality delivery
- Overseeing H&S and compliance
- Managing client communication and expectations
- Delivering clean, on-time handovers
Who this suits
- Experienced Project Manager, Construction Supervisors / Foremen
OR - Builder / Carpenter / Leading Hand ready to step into supervision
You’ll bring:
- Trade qualified (ideally, but not a necessity)
- Strong organisation and ability to manage multiple jobs
- Good communication with clients and subcontractors
- A proactive, solutions-focused mindset
- Full NZ driver’s licence
What’s on Offer
- $100K+ salary (based on experience)
- Performance-based bonuses (on top of salary)
- Fully maintained company vehicle (full use)
- Phone + laptop
- Full training and support provided
- Relocation support available for the right candidate
- Long-term opportunity with a growth builder
