Drainlayer
Visa sponsorship
Construction · Queenstown, New Zealand · Full-Time · $25/hr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Pipes, trenches and pump stations are the core of this civil work in Queenstown. The team wants Drainlayers and the people who work beside them: drainage operators and labourers, 20T excavator operators, and multi-skilled operators holding Class 4.
Projects span drainage, wastewater, stormwater, utilities, earthworks and roading. One week you might lay gravity sewer lines; the next, install power or telecommunications services, finish concrete or reinstate a site. PE welding and approved confined-space work come up where needed. The variety suits people who like solving practical problems.
Your CV should list your licence classes, the machines you have run and the drainage or utility jobs you have worked on, including any in the Middle East. You can shape a Queenstown drainlayer CV on Build AI CV before you apply.
