Working in Gisborne, New Zealand
The role is based in Gisborne on New Zealand’s North Island (not remote). Expect outdoor or field-oriented conditions typical of regional infrastructure and services work, with travel and weather as practical factors.
Be ready to discuss safe equipment operation, PPE and environmental controls, experience with spray plant or similar plant, and how you work under Downer-style site rules in a regional Gisborne setting.
Strong fit if you prefer hands-on field work with a large AU/NZ services contractor, can work outdoors in Gisborne, and are reliable with safety-critical plant operation. Thin public DATA on pay, reviews, and formal certs for this title—treat those as unknowns until Downer confirms.
