The Company
Park Supplies & Playgrounds is a privately owned, Māngere-based business that has designed, manufactured and installed high-quality, New Zealand-made playground equipment for more than 40 years. We work with commercial customers throughout New Zealand, including schools and councils.
Two different positions available in our Playground Installation Team;

The ideal candidate enjoys practical, hands-on building work and has at least four years of relevant experience. The position would suit someone who already has team leadership experience or is looking to develop it. You must be able to work accurately, tidily and safely in school and public park settings. This role reports to our Installation Manager.
