The Opportunity
We’re partnering with an established HVAC business that’s about to launch a new operation in Taranaki - and they’re looking for an experienced HVAC Site Supervisor to help make it happen. This is a genuine greenfields opportunity. Not a maintenance role and not one where you’ll be sitting on the sidelines. You’ll be leading commercial installation projects on site, coordinating crews and playing a key role in setting up the company’s presence in the region. If you’re someone who enjoys autonomy, leadership and seeing a project through from drawings to delivery, this could be a great next step in your career.
You’ll be the person on site who keeps things moving – managing teams, coordinating trades, and ensuring installs are completed safely, efficiently and to a high standard.
The Company
This privately owned HVAC company has more than 50 years of experience delivering heating and cooling solutions across the Waikato. They’ve built a strong reputation for quality workmanship and long-term client relationships across both residential and commercial projects. With new contracts secured in the Taranaki region, they’re now expanding their footprint and need a capable supervisor who can lead from the front and help establish operations locally.
About the Role
In this role, you’ll take ownership of the day-to-day delivery of commercial HVAC installation projects, including:
- Supervising on-site HVAC installation, commissioning and maintenance
- Managing technicians, subcontractors and labour crews
- Interpreting mechanical drawings, specifications and project schedules
- Running toolbox talks, safety briefings and site inspections
- Coordinating materials, tools and manpower to keep projects running efficiently
- Liaising with project managers, engineers, clients and other trades on site
- Monitoring progress, productivity and variations across large-scale projects
- Overseeing testing, commissioning and final handover
- Maintaining accurate and compliant site documentation
About You
To be successful in this role, you’ll bring:
- Proven experience as an HVAC Supervisor on commercial construction projects
- Strong technical understanding of commercial heating and air conditioning systems
- A background in fabrication or mechanical/engineering environments (advantageous)
- Confidence interpreting mechanical drawings and specifications
- Demonstrated experience leading teams and coordinating subcontractors
- A leadership style that is firm, fair and respected on site
- Strong commitment to health and safety best practice
- A full, clean driver’s licence
- Flexibility to work extended hours or weekends when required
Applicants must be a NZ Citizen or hold NZ Permanent Residency. Visa sponsorship is not available.
