We’re all about Good Work
You’ve probably seen us around - on the roads, building sites, and in cities, towns, and locations all over New Zealand.
We build and maintain infrastructure that improves the quality of life across New Zealand and Australia. Everything from roads and bridges, to energy, water and communication.
We’re big and growing but this will always be a family business with family centric values that are REAL; Respect, Energy & Effort, Attitude and Leadership - driving who we are and what we do. We know that we’re only ever as good as our people. That’s why we’re committed to hiring, developing and retaining the best in the industry.
What’s in it for you?
At Fulton Hogan we truly care about the wellbeing of our people and giving them the tools they need to succeed. From medical and life insurance from day one, to increasing our KiwiSaver employer contributions for service milestones, family scholarship programmes, learning and development programmes, long service leave, and a slew of retail and supplier discounts, we’re proud to offer a range of REAL Benefits that recognises the huge role our people play in our success.
The Opportunity

This exciting and challenging programme of work aims to improve safety and accessibility, enable an improved public transport system, provide more options for walking and cycling, and benefit the community and its visitors.
The programme will play a vital role in helping to stimulate the wider Whakatipu economy and support the region to recover from the effects of COVID-19.
Construction started in January 2021 and will take around four years to complete.
