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
