Plastering Foreman / Site Lead
Lead Great Work. Build Something That Matters.
Location: Taupō, New Zealand
Full-Time | Edge Exterior Plastering
We're looking for an experienced exterior plasterer who's ready to take the next step into leadership.
This isn't just another plastering job. It's an opportunity to lead projects, mentor a small team, and play a key role in growing one of Taupō's premium exterior plastering businesses.
At Edge Exterior Plastering, we believe quality workmanship starts with quality people. We work on homes our clients genuinely care about, and we're known for doing things properly—not taking shortcuts.
If you take pride in your work, enjoy leading others, and want to be part of a company that's building for the long term, we'd love to hear from you.
About Edge Exterior Plastering
Edge Exterior Plastering is a family-owned business based in Taupō, specialising in premium exterior plastering and painting services.
We're LBP Licensed (E2 Exterior Plastering) and certified applicators for SCP and Sto New Zealand plaster systems.
Our reputation has been built on craftsmanship, professionalism, honest communication, and delivering work we're proud to stand behind.

You'll become the main point of contact on site, representing Edge with builders, homeowners, and suppliers while helping create an environment where great workmanship becomes the standard.
