NZ Strong seeks to empower our employees through leadership and training, and we work every day to manage health and safety in our operations. We are also committed to giving back to the communities in which we operate and understand the importance of providing opportunities to Auckland’s youth, Māori and Pasifika.

Q. Are you happy at work? 75% responded 8 or higher out of ten
Q. Would you refer someone to work here? 84% said yes

We recognise that diversity is critical for an organisation’s ability to innovate and adapt in a fast-changing environment.
Diversity is essential to growth and prosperity of any company, diversity of perspectives, experiences, cultures, genders, and age breeds innovation. At NZ Strong, the average age is 43 years. 25% are women and the cultural backgrounds of our team include Australian, Brazilian, British, Chinese, Filipino, French, German, Indian, Irish, Korean, Malaysian, Māori, NZ European, Samoan, Scottish, South African, Tongan, Tunisian, and Welsh.
Health & Safety
We are committed to ensuring that each one of our people go home well to their families and friends after a safe working day for NZ Strong.
Safety has to become second nature to all of us. We have a responsibility for each and every one of our employees and we do our utmost to continuously improve our health and safety culture. Furthermore, our responsibilities also include the health and safety of our subcontractors as we work side by side with them on a daily basis.
