Machine Operator

Good operators are hard to find. We're looking for one.

At Acon Industries, we're building more than roads and infrastructure. We're building future people, future leaders, and stronger communities. We care about the quality of what we build, how safely we build it and the future capability we create along the way.

We're after an experienced Machine Operator who can jump in, get stuck into the work and take pride in doing a good job.

If you're the sort of person who looks after your machine, backs your crew and likes seeing a job finished properly, we'd like to hear from you.

Our values are pretty simple

• Forward Facing - We're building something that lasts.
• Act With Humility - No big egos. Just good people doing good work.
• Village Mentality - When one person needs help, we all step in.
• Mana to Mana - building relationships based on trust and mutual respect.

What's the job?

You'll be operating machinery on asphalt and chipseal jobs across the Bay of Plenty.

That could include:

• Rollers
• Pavers
• Bobcats
• Loaders
• Tractor brooms
• Profilers
• Other surfacing machinery

You'll work alongside a good bunch of people who know their trade and help deliver quality work for our customers.

What's in it for you?

Earn more

• $30-$40 per hour depending on experience and what plant you can operate independently.
• Time and a half for all hours physically worked over 40 each week.
• Extra 15% loading on night shift hours worked.

Grow your career

• We're serious about developing our people. Whether you're an experienced Operator wanting to become a Senior Operator, Specialist Operator, Leading Hand or Foreman, we'll help you get there.

Be part of a team that gives a damn

• We look after each other. We work hard. We keep things straight up. We leave our egos at home. We celebrate wins together.

You'll fit in well if:
