Job description

Hydro Excavation Operator – Wellington

Are you a skilled Hydro Excavation Operator who enjoys a good team, a bit of banter, and a job that keeps you moving? You might be just who we’re looking for.

Vac U Digga is New Zealand’s leading hydro excavation specialist. Hydro is what we do — and we’ve spent 18 years in civil construction and 10 years in research and development perfecting it.

As a Hydro Excavation Operator, you’ll be getting hands‑on every day — operating high‑pressure water and vacuum systems to safely break up and remove soil, working carefully around underground utilities, and keeping New Zealand’s infrastructure safe and sound.

This is a physical, fast‑paced, and highly rewarding role where no two days are ever the same. You’ll be outdoors, working as part of a tight‑knit team that’s all about getting the job done — safely and with a bit of banter along the way.

We’re currently on the hunt for a Hydro Excavation Operator to join our crew right here in Wellington!

Why Join Vac U Digga?

  • Unbeatable training & development : You’ll get hands‑on experience and access to a wide range of courses.
  • A real team environment : We’ve got each other’s backs — everyone mucks in, helps out, and makes sure no one’s left behind.
  • Opportunities to grow : With Intergroup behind us, your career can go places.
  • Safety you can trust : You’ll never be asked to work in an unsafe environment or take unnecessary risks.
  • A culture with character : Down‑to‑earth people, plenty of laughs, and genuine mateship.

What You’ll Bring

  • Previous Hydro Excavation experience is an advantage.
  • A full, clean Class 2 licence.
  • Physical fitness and a solid work ethic.
  • A can‑do attitude, good communication, and a bit of character.
  • If you love being part of a crew that works hard, looks out for each other, and takes pride in what they do, this is the place for you.
