At SouthRoads, we don't just build infrastructure, we build careers, capability, and strong local communities. You'll be joining a tight-knit, hardworking team that looks out for each other and takes real pride in doing the job right.

We're a progressive civil construction contractor with deep roots across Southland and Otago, operating one of the most modern and reliable construction fleets in New Zealand. As part of the HW Richardson Group, we're guided by values that matter, family, friendship, and fair dealings.

We're currently seeking motivated people with driving, machine operating, and/or civil labouring experience to join our teams based in Gore and Mataura.

This is a hands-on role suited to people who enjoy physical work, take initiative, and are comfortable working both as part of a team and independently. If you bring a strong work ethic and a positive attitude, we'll back you with opportunities to grow.

We're keen to hear from people who have experience in civil contracting, hold a clean and valid Class 5 licence, and take pride in being reliable, tidy, and easy to communicate with. Most importantly, you'll be someone who's keen to develop your skills and progress your career with a company that genuinely invests in its people.

At SouthRoads, safety and quality come first. We have a strong track record of developing our workforce and helping our people move forward, whether that's through upskilling, new responsibilities, or long-term career pathways.

A pre-employment medical and drug test is required as part of our commitment to keeping our people safe.

If you're looking to join a local company, with local people, and real opportunities to grow, we'd love to hear from you.
