Auckland is New Zealand's largest city and construction hub, with a building sector driven by housing affordability challenges, commercial development, and transport infrastructure investment. The Auckland Region market requires forklift drivers who understand NZ building codes, consenting processes, and the collaborative culture of Kiwi construction sites.
Our Auckland office at 139 Quay Street on the Viaduct is HBG's Australasian bridge — connecting our Australian candidate database with New Zealand's construction demand. We supply forklift drivers to commercial builders, Kainga Ora housing contractors, and infrastructure projects across Auckland Region. Trans-Tasman qualification recognition means we can mobilise experienced forklift drivers from Australia when local supply is tight.

The City Rail Link, Kainga Ora large-scale housing developments across Mangere, Mt Roskill, and Northcote, the NZ International Convention Centre, and Auckland Light Rail planning are shaping demand for forklift drivers. Auckland's residential construction pipeline — both medium-density and high-rise — remains one of the busiest in Australasia.

New Zealand construction is regulated by WorkSafe NZ under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. Site Safe certification is the NZ equivalent of the Australian White Card. Forklift driver qualifications from Australia are generally recognised under the Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Arrangement, though NZ-specific licensing may be required for certain trades. No labour hire licensing regime currently exists in NZ.
We place forklift drivers across these classification codes in Auckland and surrounding Auckland Region areas.
