Excavator Operator

Alexandra, New Zealand

Reference: 6751742

Are You an Experienced Excavator Operator with a Class 4 Licence? Your Next Big Opportunity Is Here!

We're currently looking for a skilled Excavator Operator to join our high-performing civil construction team. If you take pride in precision work, enjoy variety in your day, and are ready to make a real impact across a range of projects — we want to hear from you!

Why This Role Stands Out:

As our Excavator Operator, you'll be front and centre in the action — operating machinery with confidence and taking the lead on essential site tasks. From trenching and drainage to earthworks and construction, your experience on the digger will help drive our projects forward.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Operating excavators across a range of construction projects
  • Using loaders, rollers, and other plant machinery as required
  • Supporting project teams with general site duties
  • Contributing to key regional developments
  • Growing your capabilities with opportunities to step into leadership over time

What We're Looking For:

  • Proven experience operating excavators in civil construction
  • Class 4 licence (preferred) with W, T, R endorsements
  • (We're open to training the right candidates)
  • Skills in drainage, roading, or general earthworks (desirable)
  • A safety-first mindset and commitment to quality
  • Someone who's reliable, motivated, and a strong team player

What's In It for You:

  • A stable, full-time role with a respected company
  • Monday to Friday work with very limited weekend requirements
  • Supportive team culture and hands-on leadership
  • Training, development, and long-term career growth
  • A workplace that values work-life balance

Whitestone Contracting Ltd maintains a drug and alcohol-free environment. All final applicants will be required to pass a pre-employment medical, drug test, and Ministry of Justice check.
