Turfrey are a company and team of people focused on providing total performance in the essential services we offer – Plumbing, Gasfitting, Roofing, Heating & Drainage. We cater to the residential and commercial sectors and cover the majority of the North Island.

Our Turfrey Wellington regional branch was established exactly 12 months ago on the back of some successful projects and ongoing demand. Due the some great drive and motivation from our existing team, and the support of our clients we have now grown this to over 20 full time employees and have a strong pipeline of work ahead.

Now is the time for us to develop and strengthen this business unit further and bring in some strong experience and leadership. 

We are looking for a person who will bring business, project management and commercial construction experience, strong culture and people management skills and appetite for growth and development of local business relationships. 

Financial experience and awareness of the levers required to produce consistent gross profit and the ability to keep an eye on productivity, materials and monthly throughput is a vital part of the role, including the ability to forward plan capacity and resource.

We have a operational team in the branch of 24 lead and supported by a Roofing Manager, Plumbing Manager, Office Manager and Services Coordinator.

The key purpose of the role is to ensure the effective and strong execution of all jobs and projects in the region, as well as managing the overall productivity of our teams in the field and to provide leadership. The ability to consistently monitor workloads and anticipate the need for additional resources is critical. We need someone who can get the right people and resources to the right place, at the right time, for the right price. A strong business improvement orientation is also important, so the ability to constantly innovate and enhance efficiencies in the scheduling and implementation of the work is key.

Strong construction knowledge is required as we carry out Plumbing, Gas, Roofing, Heating, Drainage and Seismic Joint Works in this sector. You may currently be a business owner or manager in the industry looking to utilise your management and organisational skills in a wider context or new journey, or a skilled QS or Project Manager looking for further career development and something challenging to take on and build into a success.

Turfrey are a company and team of people focused on providing total performance in the essential services we offer.

This focus on total performance helps shape what we do, from the new products and innovations we source and develop, our keen attention to detail, the way we interact with our loyal clients and new customers and also the way we work together enthusiastically as a team - our culture.

Turfrey have been providing total performance in essential services for over 40 years, having started in Waipukurau in 1975 as a Plumbing company, and in 2013 with succession of new leadership and wider team effort, have grown to service the North Island with 4 branches - becoming a leader in the NZ building industry, having built an enviable reputation for delivering successful projects across a range of industry sectors.

Our team is made up of more than 150 full time team of industry professionals. Some of which have been with us for more than 40 years.

Equally important is the attitude and personal qualities you bring to the role. Service, enthusiasm and drive are everything in our business, so you will need:

• Proven business and team leadership experience
• Humble, hungry & smart - the ideal team player
• A strong financial awareness, know how to read a profit and loss, WIP report and other reporting tools
