Experienced Tractor Operators Wanted, Waikato
Got solid tractor operating experience and happy to jump off the machine and get stuck in when the team needs a hand?
Tradestaff Waikato is looking for experienced Tractor Operators to work across a variety of clients, projects and locations throughout the Waikato.
The work will be varied. One assignment could see you operating tractors within a civil construction environment, while another could involve roadside work towing and operating mowing equipment.
This isn't a role for someone who only wants to sit behind the wheel. We need practical, team-focused operators who are happy to roll up their sleeves, help with labouring and do what needs to be done to keep the job moving.
What you could be doing:
You’ll need to be comfortable with early morning starts, sometimes as early as 5am.
During the warmer and busier months, there may also be opportunities to work long days of 12+ hours, depending on the assignment and client requirements.
If you're looking for a strict 8-to-5 driving role, this probably isn't the one. If you enjoy variety, operating machinery and being part of a hardworking crew, we'd like to hear from you.
What you’ll get:
