Working at Naylor Love

“The good thing with Naylor Love is that because it has the foundations and culture of ‘one big family’ there are plenty of like-minded people around to support you or go to for help.

The opportunity for career progression with Naylor Love is there if you are willing to take it and the company support with this is great. I am truly proof of this – I began as a temp, was offered a permanent position with Dunedin Construction in accounts/admin then went on to the HR Support role. When I was then looking to transfer to Christchurch the company supported me with a transfer to the Canterbury Division where I undertook firstly Contracts Admin, then back to Accounts Administrator, then onto the HR role again, and now I’m the Office Manager/HR Support for Canterbury – a pretty awesome ride I would say.”

“There is a great deal of trust which allows people to work to their potential and also support if required. I spend a lot of time networking and building relationships, this is made easier by the fact that Naylor Love has a great reputation in the construction sector.

Naylor Love still very much has a family feel to it which is great given its size. As an independently owned company the culture has remained focussed on people and their growth and development along with providing great career advancement opportunities.”

“There are plenty of opportunities to improve and progress within Naylor Love if you are willing to take the plunge. There is a good support structure and the cadetship training scheme is a positive step in bringing through the younger team members.

There are some great people across all levels of the organisation who have a wealth of knowledge and are ready to assist with advice when needed. There are strong relationships formed on each project as teams work together and there is a good team atmosphere and culture where everyone chips in to go the extra mile.”

“What is great about Naylor Love is the people I work with. I look around the table at our monthly HSE Meetings and am amazed at the amount of knowledge and experience in the room. I’m always learning but having such a strong team around me makes my life easier. Health & Safety is challenging at the best of times but having a committed division is great, we share ideas/initiatives and they’re not afraid of change, if anything it’s embraced.

The work-life balance is also important to the business. It’s not what you can do for them, it’s what they can do for you. If you’re happy, they’re happy. The door is always open to the Regional Manager’s office – he has plenty on his plate, but will always take the time to have a catch-up.”

“In 2007 my career began with Naylor Love working as an Apprentice Carpenter. Today, eight years on, I have been involved in various roles from Leading Hand Carpenter, to Site Manager, through to my current role as a Project Manager.

Whilst working in a good social environment, we have a strong culture of continual improvement throughout the business, working with a dedicated team, prepared to go the extra mile to ensure success for both Naylor Love and our clients. Being a large corporate company means plently of opportunity to grow and gain great experience.”

“I enjoy having a varied job, no day ever seems to be same and there is a real sense of satisfaction when you see the completed project that you had a part in creating.

Naylor Love has a great culture and great people who work hard but certainly have a laugh along the way. The company has a good reputation which makes you proud to work for them.”
