The Skills Organisation

Riggers can be seen in large building sites across New Zealand, using complex rigging systems to transport large items into place. It’s a highly skilled job that plays a vital role in making sure buildings and structures are constructed safely and smoothly.

Crane operators love working with heavy machinery, working in teams, and have good hand-eye coordination. If this sounds like a great way to spend your working day, you could have a bright future as a crane operator.

Roofers repair or install roofs using materials such as metal, membrane, tiles, and shingles. You’ll be working with other tradies, such as builders – there’s lots of teamwork involved!

If you’re interested in a career in scaffolding but your company doesn’t have the range of work required for the scaffolding apprenticeship, you can still enter into the New Zealand Certificate of Scaffolding (Level 3) (General).
