Tractor Mower Operators

Tractor Mower Operators – Waikato / Waipa

We're looking for Tractor Mower Operators to join a Hamilton-based team for the upcoming grass-growing season.

The job

You'll be operating tractors fitted with boom / reach mowers to keep roadside grass under control.

The fleet includes Massey Ferguson, Iseki, SAME, and John Deere tractors.

While experience with reach mowers, hedge cutters, sickle bars, mulching heads, or saw blades is handy, it's not essential – training is available.

Alongside tractor work, you'll help with other vegetation control tasks such as ride-on mowing, weed spraying, chainsaw use, chipper work, and general site clean-up.

Some fencing experience is a bonus.

Public-facing work

Part of the role includes mowing and tidy-up in busier commercial areas.

You'll need to be professional, polite, and safety-minded around the public.

About the client

This is a family-owned company based in Hamilton.

They take safety seriously, value teamwork, and know their staff personally – you won't just be another number.

The company also works in civil construction, vegetation control, arborist work, and traffic management, so there's variety and scope to get involved in other areas.

What you'll need

Full NZ driver's licence (manual)

Ability to reverse a trailer

Strong tractor operating experience (W endorsement preferred, T and R endorsements useful)

Able to pass pre-employment and random drug / alcohol testing

Nice-to-haves

Construct Safe, Grow Safe, chainsaw qualification, or First Aid

Experience in traffic management

Other work

Flexibility is important.

At times you may help other crews with civil or landscaping jobs, roadside maintenance, or even tasks like rubbish collection.

The deal

Pay starts at $28.95 per hour on wages

Full training provided

Outdoor role, all weather, physical fitness needed

Team culture

You'll be part of a diverse crew that values safety, reliability, and a positive attitude.

A good sense of humour and a can-do approach go a long way here.
