Fed up with the same routine week after week?  This FIFO opportunity in the Pacific Islands offers a completely different way of working & living.

Tradestaff Global is seeking Expressions of Interest from skilled tradespeople for upcoming commercial construction projects across remote Pacific Island locations.

Opportunities may come up at short notice or be planned well in advance, so we’re building a strong talent pool of reliable, experienced tradespeople ready to go when projects kick off.

If you enjoy working on large-scale projects, adapting to new environments, and being part of high-performing teams - we want to hear from you.

TRADES WE’RE INTERESTED IN HEARING FROM:

We are interested in hearing from qualified and commercially experienced:
  • Carpenters
  • Electricians
  • Plumbers
  • Air Conditioning Technicians / HVAC Engineers
  • Diesel Mechanics
  • Plant Operators (Excavator & Loaders)
  • Boiler Makers
 (If your trade isn’t listed but you have relevant construction experience, feel free to register your interest.)

You’ll need to be comfortable working across different tasks and adapting to changing site requirements.

THE OPPORTUNITY:

These roles are FIFO-style deployments where you will work intensively on site during your rotation, followed by extended time back home.

While final schedules are yet to be confirmed, rotations may vary depending on project requirements and could include:
  • 4 weeks on / 2 weeks off.
  • 4 weeks on / 1 week off.
  • 3 weeks on / 3 weeks off.
Work weeks are expected to be full-time onsite with longer days typical of remote project delivery (up to approx. 80 hours per week depending on project requirements).
 
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT?
Yes - you’ll work hard while on site.  But the trade-off is significant time off between rotations, giving you the chance to:
  • Spend quality time with family & friends.
  • Get stuck into home projects & renovations
  • Go fishing, surfing or travel.
  • Be present for school holidays, camps & school drop off/pick up.
  • Properly reset between work swings.
This is work that fits around life – not the other way around.
 
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
We want experienced people who are comfortable working in remote & challenging environments.

You will need to have:
  • Relevant trade qualifications and / or licences (where required).
  • Proven Commercial experience.
  • Ability to work in remote, high-output project environments.
  • Solid work ethic, reliability & team mindset.
  • Good fitness levels for hot & humid work environments.
  • Ability to pass pre-employment checks (medical, drug & alcohol & police checks).
  • Full Class 1 NZ Drivers Licence
  • Be IT literate, have great attention to detail, follow instructions and be able to handle lots of complicated paperwork.
 
WHAT’S GENERALLY ON OFFER (PROJECT DEPENDENT)
  • Return flights from NZ major airports.
  • Accommodation & meals supplied on site.
  • Travel insurance & logistics support.
  • PPE provided where required.
  • Opportunity to gain international project experience.
  • Support from an experienced offshore project team.
 
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
  • This is an Expression of Interest only – no confirmed start dates yet.
  • Candidates must have a NZ Passport, be currently & permanently based in NZ.
FIFO work in the Pacific isn’t just a job – it’s a different way of working & living.

WHAT NOW?
  • APPLY ONLINE with an up-to-date CV that outlines your commercial construction skills, experience and the types of commercial construction projects you have worked on.
  • If your initial application is successful, we will contact you with further information about the interview process.
 
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?  ADVENTURE CALLS!

APPLY ONLINE NOW and take advantage of this opportunity of a lifetime!

We can only accept online applications.  You will receive an automatic acknowledgement when your application is submitted successfully.
 

We offer a wide variety of roles across the construction industry, including positions for Carpenters, Machine Operators, Electricians, Plumbers, HVAC Technicians, Duct Installers, Pipefitters/Welders, and many more.
