Whether you have years of experience or are just cutting your teeth in the construction industry, there are opportunities at all levels at Aoraki. Our philosophies are clean and simple – work in the market we know and love (Wellington!), work in partnerships with good people, understand and actively manage construction risk, treat everyone with fairness and respect, work hard, and have a heap of fun along the way!
Our people are our greatest asset, so it is fundamentally important to us that we look after our team. We offer a great team culture and supportive work environment, as well as a number of employee benefits:
Our Construction Cadet Training Programme is designed for people who have some sort of base to continue their learning from, whether that be a trade, degree, diploma, or other qualification. It is hands-on learning in a real environment, while benefitting from the guidance of some of Wellington’s most experienced construction professionals.
Apprenticeships are part of giving back to the industry and the communities in which we work in, as well as building capability and creating a pipeline of future Aoraki carpenters. A good attitude, work ethic, and willingness to learn are they key attributes we look for in our apprentices, and if you tick these boxes you have the potential to go far! It is important to us that each of our apprentices have the appropriate level of mentoring and guidance to complete their training and become skilled at their trade so we always ensure that we have the right balance of qualified carpenters vs apprentices on the team.
