About The Role

Te kōwhiringa | The Opportunity

Not every supervisor role comes with the chance to work on critical infrastructure and enjoy a genuine work-life balance.

We're looking for a 3 Waters Site Supervisor to help lead the delivery of works at the Redwood Water Treatment Plant and associated pump stations in Tasman. This is a unique fixed-term opportunity through to June 2027, working a part-time roster of three 10-hour shifts per week.

This isn't a role where you'll spend your time buried in paperwork. We're after someone who enjoys being out on site, leading from the front, solving problems before they become problems and helping teams deliver quality outcomes safely and efficiently.

You'll coordinate crews and subcontractors, oversee day-to-day site activities, assist with planning works and ensure projects are delivered to specification, on schedule and with safety at the forefront. You'll work closely with the Project Manager while building strong relationships with clients, contractors and stakeholders.

One day might involve coordinating crews and reviewing methodologies, the next could see you managing subcontractors, resolving site challenges or ensuring critical plant and equipment are operating effectively. Whatever the task, you'll be the person helping keep the project moving in the right direction.

If you enjoy responsibility, like having ownership of your site and want a role where your experience is genuinely valued, we'd love to hear from you.
