Solar Construction Project

Ko mātou tēnei – Our organisation

At BAM BAM Pile Driving, we’re proud to be building the infrastructure that powers New Zealand’s future. Our reputation has been built on delivering quality piling, civil and construction solutions safely, efficiently, and with integrity.

As we continue to grow, we’re seeking general labourers to join one of New Zealand’s largest renewable energy construction projects. This is your opportunity to be part of a project that will leave a lasting legacy while working alongside an experienced, supportive and hardworking team.

• Working collaboratively with supervisors, tradespeople and other site personnel to meet project objectives.
• Following all site rules, SWMS, JSEAs and WHS requirements.
• Identifying and reporting hazards and contributing to a safe work environment.

No two days will be the same, and we’re looking for people who are willing to roll up their sleeves and support the wider team wherever needed.
