Rural Worx is on the hunt for an experienced fencer / foreman to join our growing team and take the lead on commercial-scale rural fencing projects.
We are a hardworking, locally owned rural contracting business based in Te Horo, servicing the wider Wellington–Horowhenua region. We pride ourselves on quality workmanship, reliability, and good old-fashioned work ethic.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who knows fencing inside and out and is confident running their own crew on site.
About the Role
You will be:
- Leading hand/2IC with 3 other crew members
- Leading and completing commercial-scale rural fencing projects
- Working across a variety of fencing types, with a strong focus on large-scale rural contracts
- Operating machinery including tractors, post rammers, 4WDs, ATVs, and specialized fencing equipment
- Occasionally assisting with general rural work, including farm fencing and stock-related tasks
This is a physically demanding, outdoor role suited to someone who enjoys a hard day’s work and takes pride in building quality fences that last. We work in all weather.
What We Offer
- Full-time, Monday–Friday work
(Optional Saturdays available, but not required)
- Competitive salary based on experience
- Company vehicle and phone
- All tools and machinery supplied
- Work across a range of large rural and commercial projects
- Public holidays off + Christmas shutdown
- A solid team culture with people who back each other and get the job done.
What We’re Looking For
Essential:
- Proven experience in fence construction
- Ability to confidently run a crew and manage jobs on site
- Full, clean driver’s license (must be able to drive manual)
- Physically fit and capable of handling heavy, repetitive outdoor work
- Strong can-do attitude and ability to handle pressure on busy job sites
- Willingness to undergo pre-employment and regular drug & alcohol testing
Highly Valued (but not essential):
- Experience with residential fencing
- Rural background or experience with stock work
- Ability to shear sheep and handle stock
- Someone who genuinely enjoys the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and rural life
Training can be provided for the right person, but a solid foundation in fencing is expected.
