Operations Co-ordinator

ABOUT US

At Men At Work, we're a proudly Kiwi-owned company delivering industry-leading traffic management solutions across Aotearoa. With five branches throughout the country, we support some of New Zealand's most important infrastructure and civil projects.

We're part of the wider Men at Work group, alongside MW Training & Planning, The Temp Company, QualCard, SweepCo and MW Civil. That means real depth behind you, and genuine options to grow your career across the group.

Our team is known for getting the job done safely, professionally and with a can-do attitude that sets us apart. Christchurch is our biggest branch and it moves fast. We're looking for the organiser who can keep it all running.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is the role that gets the right people, gear and paperwork to the right place at the right time. You are the link between our clients, our crews and the office, and you own jobs from the moment they land to the moment they are signed off.

Reporting to the Branch Manager, day to day you will:

• Plan and co-ordinate crews, vehicles and equipment across live jobs

• Be a first point of contact for clients, taking job requests and keeping them in the loop

• Make sure every site is set up safely and to standard

• Keep our health and safety systems ticking over, including toolbox talks, site checks and incident follow up

• Sort the problems that come up when a job changes at short notice, because they always do

• Keep schedules, records and job information accurate

This is a full time role of at least 8 hours a day, generally worked between 6am and 6pm. Road work starts early, so there will be early starts at times and we would rather be upfront about that now.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

We care more about how you organise and how you deal with people than what industry you have come from.

Essential:

• Experience co-ordinating people, jobs or resources in a busy operational environment. Civil, construction, transport, logistics, trades or events all translate well

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle competing priorities without dropping anything

• A confident communicator who can hold a straight conversation with a client one minute and a crew the next

• Genuine commitment to health and safety

• Comfortable with scheduling systems and general computer work

• Full NZ driver licence

Advantageous, but not required:

• Some knowledge of traffic management or the civil sector. You do not need to have worked in TM. If you know your way around a TMP or have spent time on a road corridor it will help you get up to speed faster, but we will train the right person

• Experience in a health and safety focused role

• A TC or STMS qualification, or an interest in gaining one

WHAT WE OFFER

We are committed to providing a supportive and rewarding work environment. Alongside a competitive salary that reflects your experience, we offer:

• Company vehicle with limited private use, plus tools of trade, phone and laptop

• Loyalty Leave: Earn additional leave after two years

• Great team culture: No egos, just good people who have your back

• Family-owned NZ business: You're treated as a valued team member, not just a number
