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. 

The Role

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.
