An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a well-established and highly respected construction business delivering a major new build project in Christchurch.

This is a fixed-term role running through to July 2027, with strong potential to transition into a permanent position as the business continues to grow.

This role will suit someone with a strong site-based background—such as a Site Foreman or Site Manager—who has developed solid Health & Safety capability. You'll bring a practical, hands-on understanding of construction, along with the ability to influence and drive a positive safety culture across site.

The Role
Working closely with the project team and client, you will take ownership of Health & Safety on-site, ensuring best practices are embedded and maintained throughout the lifecycle of the project. This is not a purely compliance-driven role—you'll be a visible, proactive presence on site, building relationships and influencing behaviours.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage Health & Safety across a large-scale new build project
• Work closely with site teams to ensure safe and efficient delivery of works
• Engage confidently with the client, providing clear communication and reporting
• Carry out site inspections, audits, and risk assessments
• Promote a strong safety culture through leadership and coaching
• Ensure compliance with all relevant legislation and company standards

About You

• Background as a Site Foreman, Site Manager, or similar hands-on construction role
• Proven Health & Safety experience within the construction sector
• Strong understanding of construction methodologies and site operations
• Excellent communication skills and ability to engage with clients and stakeholders
• Confident, approachable, and proactive in your approach
• Able to balance practical site delivery with robust H&S standards

What's on Offer

• Salary package between $110,000 - $145,000 (depending on experience)
• Opportunity to work on a high-profile new build project
• Fixed-term role through to July 2027, with potential for a permanent position
• Supportive team environment with strong leadership
• Career progression opportunities within a growing business

If you're a construction professional with strong Health & Safety expertise looking to step into a key project role, this is a great opportunity to make a real impact.
