WE’RE HIRING!!!!

Position; ENVIRONMENTAL TEAM MEAMBER 👷‍♂️

Fancy a job where “office view” might mean a riverbank, a hillside, a paddock, a civil site or somewhere Google Maps has absolutely no business sending you? 😂

GoodRich Environmental Solutions is looking for another Team Member to join the crew.

And before you ask… no, you won’t just be carrying things from one end of the site to the other.

Well.
Not just that. 😏

You could be:
🌱 Helping with hydroseeding and erosion control
🌊 Working around streams, waterways and rehabilitation projects
🛠️ Setting up pumps, hoses, equipment and site systems
🚜 Working alongside diggers, trucks and machinery
🪵 Helping with stabilisation and environmental works
💦 Moving water where it needs to go, and occasionally discovering where it definitely did NOT need to go
🌧️ Working outside in beautiful sunshine, sideways rain and every other season NZ can fit into one afternoon
🧤 Getting your hands dirty enough that “I’ll just wipe that on my shorts” becomes a legitimate cleaning strategy
👷 Working with a crew that knows how to get the job done without taking themselves too seriously

No two days are exactly the same.
Some days you’ll be knee-deep in a waterway.
Some days you’ll be on a big site surrounded by machinery.
Some days you’ll learn something completely new.
And some days someone will say,
“This shouldn’t take long…”
Those are usually the interesting ones. 😂

We’re looking for someone practical, reliable and keen to work.
Experience in civil, construction, landscaping, farming or around machinery is useful, but if you’ve got a good attitude, common sense and you’re not scared of learning, we want to hear from you.
You’ll get variety, real skills, interesting projects and the satisfaction of looking back at the end of the day and actually seeing what you achieved.
Plus mud.
There will definitely be mud.

Sound like your kind of job?

WE’RE HIRING!!

Position; MECHANIC 🔧

Do you enjoy fixing machinery?

Do you enjoy figuring out why machinery needs fixing?

Do you occasionally walk past something, hear one suspicious noise and immediately know it’s about to cost somebody money?

Excellent.

We should talk. 😂

GoodRich Environmental Solutions is looking for a Mechanic to help look after the fleet, machinery and equipment that keeps our crews moving.

And when we say variety, we mean variety.
You could be:

🔧 Servicing trucks and machinery
🚜 Keeping plant and equipment in fighting form
💦 Working on pumps, hydroseeding gear and water-management equipment
🛠️ Diagnosing faults before they become “well… that’s not ideal”
⚙️ Carrying out repairs and preventative maintenance
🚚 Getting gear ready before it heads out to site
👷 Helping the team solve those mysterious mechanical problems that apparently “just started doing that this morning”
🧰 Occasionally performing mechanical wizardry while everyone stands nearby offering extremely useful advice such as:
“Have you tried turning it off and back on?”

Our equipment works hard.
It gets muddy, dusty, wet, shaken around and occasionally treated with more enthusiasm than sympathy.

So, we need someone who likes looking after gear properly and gets a bit of satisfaction from taking something that isn’t behaving and making it behave again.

You’ll have plenty of autonomy, heaps of variety and a fleet that will make sure you’re never sitting around wondering what to do next.
Some days you’ll be servicing.

Some days you’ll be fault-finding.
Some days you’ll be repairing something on site.
And some days you’ll get the rare mechanical miracle:
"Everything is running perfectly."
Please enjoy those 14 minutes. 😂

If you’re practical, mechanically switched-on and like the idea of joining a crew doing interesting work, we’d love to hear from you.

You keep it running. We’ll keep giving you things to fix.

Why Maintenance Matters in Erosion and Sediment Control.

A sediment control that is not maintained is a system already losing effectiveness.

In erosion and sediment control, installation is only one part of the equation. Performance depends on whether a control continues to function as intended as site conditions change.

Sediment build-up, concentrated flows, rainfall events, vehicle movement, and ongoing earthworks can all reduce the effectiveness of a system over time.

That is why maintenance is a technical requirement, not just a routine task. A control that is blocked, damaged, overloaded, or no longer suited to current site conditions may still be present, but it is no longer delivering the level of protection it was designed for.

Regular inspection and timely maintenance help preserve capacity, maintain flow management, and ensure controls continue working under real site pressure. Without that, even well-designed systems can begin to underperform.

At GoodRich, we see maintenance as a critical part of overall control performance. Because effective erosion and sediment control is not just about what goes in the ground, it is about what continues to function once the site is live.

There is NO single mulch product that suits every site.

At GoodRich, we take a more technical approach to mulch selection and hydraulically applied systems because every site behaves differently.

Soil type, slope angle, surface stability, moisture demand, seed requirements, wind exposure, rainfall risk, and soil chemistry all play a part in how well a system will perform.

Soil testing is such an important step as this helps us understand what the site actually needs beneath the surface, not just what is visible on top. The results help guide the right mulch system, seed mix, fertiliser, soil amendments, and application method so the final solution supports germination, establishment, erosion control, and long-term performance.

We work with a broad range of mulch technologies and fibre sources, including wood-based fibres, paper-based pulps, hydraulically applied soil systems, specialist performance products, and both New Zealand and internationally sourced materials.

Each has its own strengths, characteristics, and place within a well-designed erosion and revegetation system. Some products are better suited to moisture retention and germination support, while others are selected for surface protection, erosion resistance, slope stabilisation, or higher-performance applications where fibre strength, interlocking capacity, and longevity matter.

The real value is not just having access to these materials. It is knowing how to match them to the site.

Product selection, blend composition, seed choice, fertiliser inputs, soil amendments, and application method all influence the final result. A system that performs well in one environment may underperform in another if the soil conditions, site risks, and project goals are not properly understood.

Our approach is to assess the problem first, then build the most appropriate solution around the conditions in front of us. That flexibility allows us to respond to a wide range of environmental and construction challenges with a system designed for performance, rather than relying on a generic mix.

In short, we do not treat mulch as a single product category. We treat it as a toolkit of engineered solutions.

The right fibre. The right blend. The right application.
The right seed, fertiliser, and soil support.

Because solving the problem properly the first time starts with understanding the site, then using the right system from the beginning.

Liquid waste needs a plan.

Extended rain and flooding do more than disrupt programme timelines, they make slurry, sludge, and liquid silt management harder to control on site.

GoodSorb is designed to rapidly convert difficult liquids into a more manageable semi-solid state, making cleanup, transport, and disposal more efficient. It is well suited to silt retention ponds, dewatering areas, and spill response, where quick containment and practical waste handling are essential.

In silt retention pond applications, GoodSorb can achieve high uptake capacity, helping transform liquid silts into material that is easier to remove and manage.

When conditions are working against you, site control matters.

Sediment is Everyone’s Problem

Sediment doesn’t just make a mess, it costs time, money, and waterways.

A good Erosion & Sediment control setup protects more than compliance; it protects your programme.

When rain hits, you want your controls doing the work:
• Diversion & Flow Management
• Decanting Systems / Treatment where required
• Silt Retention Strategies that match the catchment
• Clear Maintenance Routines

If you’re unsure whether your site is set up to handle a proper weather event, we can help.
