We believe that the foundation of our good reputation and long-lasting success is the hard work and skill of our team. Our people are known for their great work ethic, reliability, and efficiency, which insures our success.

Investing in Our Team

We support our staff in reaching their personal and professional goals. This includes learning new skills, getting licenses, and earning national qualifications. We work with education providers like NZQA and Connexis to offer clear paths for personal growth and formal qualifications. Our commitment to this was recognised in 2022 with a Civil Contractors New Zealand National Award.

Quality Assurance, Health & Safety

Our team in Christchurch is ready to respond quickly to important issues like health and safety, quality assurance, and meeting council rules. As a Tier 1 Contractor, Austin Contracting is trusted by councils to complete work that meets high standards.

We have been a member of Site Safe since 2010. All our staff are Site Safe trained, with many holding first aid qualifications and the necessary training for the machinery and vehicles they use. We also have regular health checks and drug and alcohol testing to keep our workforce safe and healthy.

Supporting Mental Health: MATES in Construction

We support MATES in Construction, a New Zealand charity that aims to reduce the number of suicides in the construction industry. They provide training and support to help construction workers with mental health and suicide prevention. At Austin Contracting, we believe in creating a supportive work environment where mental health can be openly discussed and addressed.

By valuing our people and investing in their growth, we make sure Austin Contracting remains a leader in quality, safety, and community support.
