Description

Higgs Building Co is looking for a qualified builder/foreman to join our team, working on architectural and high-performance homes across the Waikato.

We specialise in architectural residential builds and pride ourselves on delivering quality homes through good planning, strong communication, and a supportive team environment. This role suits someone who enjoys interesting work, takes pride in their craft, and wants a long-term role with room to grow. We are also one of the few builders in the Waikato specialising in Structural Insulated Panel (SIPs) construction, alongside high-performance and Passive House principles.

About the Role

You’ll be working alongside our Project Manager and experienced team on:

  • Architectural residential builds
  • SIPs, high-performance and Passive House projects
  • Well-planned projects with a focus on quality
  • A mix of hands-on building and on-site responsibility
  • Builds where care, detail and teamwork are valued

What We’re Looking For

You’ll ideally:

  • Be a qualified builder or experienced foreman
  • Have solid on-site experience and a good eye for detail
  • Be reliable, motivated and enjoy working as part of a team
  • Take pride in delivering quality work
  • Be keen to develop your skills and grow within the company

Experience with architectural or high-performance builds is an advantage, but not essential — the right attitude and willingness to learn are key.

Relocating to the Waikato?

We’re open to supporting experienced builders relocating to the Waikato and are happy to discuss options with the right candidate. The Waikato offers a great lifestyle, strong communities and the opportunity to work on high-quality homes without big-city stress.

What We Offer

  • Competitive pay based on experience
  • Company vehicle provided
  • Birthday paid day off
  • Team social club and regular social events
  • Supportive, professional team environment
  • Long-term role with career progression opportunities
  • A stable pipeline of well-designed, high-quality projects

About Higgs Building Co

Higgs Building Co is a Waikato-based builder specialising in architectural, high-performance and Passive House homes. We are recognised locally for our SIPs expertise, attention to detail, transparent processes, and the care we take with both our projects and our people.
