Careers

"I started with Southbase in August 2016 as a Graduate/Junior Quantity Surveyor. I worked within a great team on The Crossing project until the end of 2017, at which point I was offered the opportunity to relocate to Wellington to run my own smaller project."

"I had the opportunity and privilege to start at Southbase in 2013 as the first Quantity Surveyor. My journey has taken a similar path and trajectory to that of our business, which is now a Tier 1 national business."

"I started with Southbase as a Site Manager on Linwood College, working alongside Jim Western to complete the main structural elements including concrete foundations, slabs, structural steel and level 1 slabs, before starting at Rolleston East School (now known as Te Rohutu Whio), where we completed the project on budget, to a high standard and ahead of programme."

"After beginning my career as a Quantity Surveyor in the UK, I relocated to New Zealand to join Southbase in January 2020. My first Southbase project was the Massey University Innovation Complex - a large-scale laboratory and teaching facility in Auckland."

"I started working for Southbase in May 2017 taking up a Site Engineer role; this was pivotal in my progression, learning and understanding compliance and quality assurance as I moved quickly into a Site Manager role."

"I joined Southbase in January 2018 as a Site Engineer. After two projects, in 2019 I was offered the role of a Senior Site Engineer. This allowed me to work closely with project managers to gain the skills needed to progress further."

"I began my journey with Southbase Construction in 2015 as a Carpenter, contributing to various anchor projects across Christchurch during the post-2011 earthquake rebuild."

"I joined Southbase as a BIM Technician, leveraging my structural design and modelling background. Over eight years, I have progressed to BIM Manager, Innovation Manager, and now I am Director of Construction Technology."

"I started with Southbase in 2015 as a Junior QS working part time on The Crossing in Christchurch whilst I was completing my degree in Construction Management (Quantity Surveying)."

"I started at Southbase in 2019 as a Quantity Surveyor. Since then, I have had the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects including schools, university accommodation, a hospital, and retirement village"

"When I first started with Southbase I had just moved out from Scotland. I was initially employed as a Junior Quantity Surveyor to be working with a team. However, this quickly progressed and five months later I was out on site running my first project for Southbase."

"I started working at Southbase in 2020 as a Quality Coordinator. I requested to be involved onsite for an introduction for experience."

"I joined Southbase in January of 2014, within the first year of the company’s inception when we were a small team of under 20 people."

"In August 2019 I relocated from Dubai to Auckland to join Southbase as a Senior QS working on the Massey University Innovation Complex."

"I started with Southbase Construction in January 2019 as a Construction Management Cadet in Auckland. After taking on greater responsibility on the project I was working on, I was quickly promoted to Site Engineer in July 2019."

"My journey at Southbase began over a decade ago. I started as a Site Manager and have progressed to a Project Manager now, which is probably not the traditional pathway of progressing to Senior Site Manager then a Project Manager."

"I began with Southbase as a leading hand carpenter in 2015, working on the structure of a couple of Christchurch’s large anchor projects."

"During a summer university break, I joined Southbase as a Construction Management Intern, gaining experience in both the office and on site across numerous Auckland projects."
