Join Turfrey

"The challenge is making deadlines while still installing the best quality work. As an apprentice I’m lucky to be working with some really well-trained professionals at Turfrey. Onsite we work alongside many other trades, so we keep clear communication and keep pushing our Turfrey mojo of energy, dependability, pride, growth and family at every opportunity.

I absolutely love what I do and all the work I'm exposed to. Our Turfrey values and the workmanship is what I breathe. The commercial drainage and plumbing jobs will always make me the happiest plumber in New Zealand."

Lachlan Matthews, Drainlayer & Apprentice Plumber/Gasfitter

"I've been with Turfrey for six years now. The size of the Company means I'm not just working on residential projects but Civil and Commercial too, which I really enjoy. There's great vibes at Turfrey and everyone works together with really good teamwork."

Sean Brew, Certified Drainlayer

“I’ve been plumbing for 13 years and with Turfrey for six. Turfrey has a great family culture and has supported my progression from being on the tools to a management role in Health and Safety, which is something I'm passionate about. The daily challenges we see in our trades are high risk. I'm motivated to get everyone to understand these risks so they can perform safe work and make it home to their families. It's great to be part of a big company that offers the opportunities to develop my career in construction."

Jayden Barrow, Health & Safety Coordinator

“I started at Turfrey four years ago. The enjoyment comes down to how we interact and support each other as a team while holding each other to account. We are clear on what our vision is, and I love the fact we are ambitious about what we want to achieve and a sense of pride comes from this as we all get to set the goals together, making each person part of the plan.”

Sam Brown, Hawke's Bay Regional Manager

"I completed a business diploma in sales and marketing at EIT before joining the Online Sales team at Turfrey four years ago. In my role I really enjoy getting to understand what goes on in all divisions of the business. The growth trajectory of Turfrey is exciting to be part of and I feel like the opportunities to keep learning and realise my potential here are genuinely supported. I love the variety, the people I work with and getting to engage with customers. Whenever I drive past a big project Turfrey is working on I feel really proud to be part of it."

Paris Brown, E-Commerce & Sales

"I never wanted to sit at a desk. I was looking for a hands on job and Turfrey gave me that opportunity. I love working outside most days, working with my hands and creating things. I do get a few looks because I'm a woman but it's great to be a female in the trades so we can show the guys what we are capable of. The most important thing is the drive and the willpower. Turfrey are really supportive with my apprenticeship, with regular meetings and offering tutors if we need it. Being part of a bigger company means I'm learning with others and there are senior people to support me. It also means there are lots of commercial builds as well as residential. No two days are ever the same."

Molly Fothergill, Apprentice Plumber, Drainlayer & Gasfitter

"I've been with the company for 10 years now. Turfrey is a great family-owned company that really looks after its staff. It's been great to be part of the growth. The thing I love most is the challenge of the big commercial jobs but at the same time there is heaps of variety with domestic work as well that requires different skills."

Paul Bartholomew, Plumbing Supervisor
