Nau mai haere mai ki tā mātou whānau |Welcome to our Fulton Hogan Family
It is a great time to join our Mechanical team.

At Fulton Hogan, we genuinely care about the wellbeing of our people and giving them the tools and opportunities they need to succeed and grow with us.
What we're looking for:
We're looking for a candidate who's familiar with the construction processes mentioned above, with at least 5 years exposure to site and/or workshop environments. You should be able to visualise how things will be physically constructed, assign durations to each part of the work sequence, and determine which labour, materials, plant, subcontractors and overheads will be required.
You will be primarily involved in water treatment and wastewater treatment industries, although we welcome applicants from other industries with relevant experience. You will normally be pricing in 1-2 tenders at a time and a typical tender duration is 8 weeks. Tenders are generally assembled by a team consisting of an estimator (responsible for pricing), bid manager (responsible for methodology, programme), tender writer (responsible for managing client correspondence and assembling the final bid), and managers who review and sign off the tender. You will need to cooperate well with others and be transparent with your capabilities and progress. On large projects you will be working under a lead mechanical estimator.
The main software packages we use are CCS Candy, MS Excel and MS Project. Familiarity to these software packages would be advantageous. Understanding of the NZ supply chain for the materials are subcontractors listed above is also welcome. Experience with cost estimation is preferred but not essential.
Creating, Connecting and caring for the community
Our people regularly donate their time to local causes and initiatives, while at a regional and national level we provide financial support, skills and resources to a wide range of organisations that are strengthening our communities. Our focus aims to also reduce our impact on the environment, and regenerate healthy new ecosystems. We look to partner with others to lift the standards of our industry and show customers lower-impact, sustainable ways of delivering infrastructure.
All successful candidates must under-go and pass a pre-employment medical and drug screen prior to employment.
