🚨 WE NEED A SENIOR BUILDER 🚨

And not just anyone with a tool belt…

We’re on the hunt for someone who actually knows their stuff, takes pride in their work, and wants to be part of a solid crew building quality homes.

If you’re:
✔ experienced
✔ reliable
✔ can work unsupervised
✔ take initiative
✔ and are just an all-round good bu**er to have on site…

…we’d love to hear from you.

We’re a small local building company based in Gore, and we genuinely care about doing good work and having a good team around us.

What we’re looking for:

🔨 Qualified / experienced senior builder
🔨 Someone who can read plans and think for themselves
🔨 Great workmanship and attention to detail
🔨 Full licence preferred
🔨 Good banter is a bonus

What you’ll get:

✔ Solid variety of work
✔ Good crew
✔ Great culture
✔ No nonsense
✔ Work you can actually be proud of

Immediate start for the right person.

Confidential chats welcome.

If this sounds like you — or you know someone who’d be a bloody good fit — flick us a message or email [email protected]

Work hard - play hard!

The McHaffie Building team put the tools down for the day and instead went and had a day on the water.

Big thanks to RealNZ and the whitewater rafting team in Queenstown.

What an awesome day!

As builders, there’s nothing we love more than a nice clear blue sky!

Perfect working conditions for another new build on Albany St, Gore.

A massive shoutout to Natwick for her work on reviving our old and tired website.

Nat was so easy to deal with and did all the heavy lifting for us. We just gave her some basic information and she went on to create all this!

And she was so efficient (we were the ones holding her up 🫣😂).

So thank you Natwick Photography & Web Design.

We’re on the lookout for a qualified builder to join the McHaffie Building team 🔨

We’re a small team who take pride in what we do — top-quality homes, good laughs on site, and the occasional BBQ to celebrate a job well done.

If you’re after more than just a job — and want to work with a tight-knit team who genuinely enjoy what they do — we’d love to hear from you.

We offer:

✅ An attractive pay package for the right person
✅ A wide variety of residential builds — from design and build homes, renovations and maintenance work.
✅ A supportive team culture built on integrity, craftsmanship, and good banter.

If you’re a fully qualified builder who’s keen to lead a team that values integrity, attention to detail, and a good dose of banter, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re after someone who’s:

👉 Fully qualified with a great eye for detail
👉 Reliable, proactive, and takes pride in their work
👉 Keen to be part of a team that values quality over shortcuts
👉 Has experience as a foreman / lead hand or willing to be trained up

Sound like something you’re after?

Then check out our website to see what we’re all about, and send us an email via the contact form at www.mchaffiebuilding.co.nz — we’d love to chat.

The site was all go early this morning for the floor slab pour at our new build location just north of Gore.

Check out this amazing sun rise that these clients will get to wake up to!

Thanks to Wagener Construction and James Martin for slab placement on this one.
