SouthRoads is looking for an experienced Class 5 Driver to join our civil construction team, working mainly on road construction and maintenance projects across the region, with some siteworks and drainage work as required. If you have experience in bottom dump, truck and trailer or other civil construction work and enjoy a varied role, we'd like to hear from you.

About us

SouthRoads Ltd is a progressive civil construction contractor with deep roots in Southland and Otago, and part of the HW Richardson Group. Our fleet is modern, our people are the real deal, and our reputation is built one project at a time. If you like being somewhere that still feels like a team rather than a spreadsheet, you'll fit right in.

You'll work safely around live traffic, plant and people on site, complete daily pre-start checks, and keep your paperwork, including logbooks and RUC records, accurate.

What you'll need

• A Class 5 driver licence
• Experience in bottom dump, truck-and-trailer or other civil construction work
• A safety-first attitude and pride in your work
• The energy for long days when the season's pumping
