Nau mai haere mai ki tā mātou whānau | Welcome to our Fulton Hogan Family

We’re looking for a Supervisor to join our team in Invercargill for a wharf repair project supporting a heavy industrial client.

This is a hands-on role on a live marine job, with works happening primarily over water and divers supporting key parts of the delivery. It’s the kind of project that needs someone practical, organised, and ready to get stuck in from day one.

This is a senior site-based role where you’ll take the lead civil and structural works on our current Wharf project

In addition to the above you will:

• Lead and coordinate day‑to‑day activities of the site crew and subcontractors on structural works.
• Plan, sequence and supervise reinforced concrete, precast and structural steel operations for bridges, reservoirs and associated civil structures.
• Champion HSQE on site, ensuring all works meet Fulton Hogan and statutory health, safety, quality and environmental standards.
• Monitor progress against programme and specifications, troubleshooting issues and resolving on‑site challenges promptly.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, designers, suppliers, inspectors and other stakeholders.
• Maintain accurate records of work completed, quality checks, incidents, variations and daily site progress.
• Coach, support and develop team members, helping create a positive, low‑ego, high‑performance site culture
• Report progress, issues, and needs to the Project Manager

We’re looking for someone with:

• Minimum of 3 years’ experience as a Structure Supervisor level, with reinforced concrete and structural steel experience.
• Minimum 10 years in a Civil Construction in structural areas including marine, bridge building civil structures or commercial building utilising concrete, precast and structural steel valued at over (10M+).
• Proven experience in developing and growing teams, encouraging a positive work environment.
• Sound understanding of construction sequencing, temporary works, quality standards and cost/productivity drivers.
• A collaborative, straight‑up leadership style – you’re comfortable on the ground with the crew as well as in client and consultant meetings.
• A genuine commitment to safety and wellbeing, and the courage to stop work when it’s not right.
