About the role

You’ll carry out scheduled inspections, update the AWM (RAMM) system accurately, and provide clear evidence that helps drive smart maintenance decisions.

• Size and scope required maintenance work, provide clear supporting evidence, and monitor the quality of delivery outcomes.

• Build strong working relationships with NZTA and stakeholders, attend alignment workshops, and contribute to KPI performance.

• Assist the IDC business during emergency events and afterhour callouts.

We’re looking for someone with

• At Least 5 years’ relevant experience in road maintenance or network inspection, with the ability to assess road conditions and identify hazards.

• Strong knowledge of road maintenance contracts, asset types, and the activities involved in maintaining a transport network.

• Hands On experience using Work Manager and Mobile AWM apps and systems, with a solid understanding of related processes.

• A Relevant qualification e.g. a civil diploma, or equivalent industry experience, plus the ability to carry out required inspections.

• A Current Class 1 driver licence, strong judgement, accurate record keeping, and a safety-first mindset
