Benefits

For anyone wanting help to get to the next stage of their career, we have a very well-funded Employee Educational Fund (EEF). Permanent employees (have been employed for at least six months) of Fletcher Construction, their partners, and dependant family members can apply to the EEF to fund career-related tuition and programmes. 

The EEF also supports tamariki. School-age children (eight years +) can access funding to take extra academic tuition, such as Kip McGrath, SPELD, Kumon or personal development programmes like Outward Bound, OPC, Spirit of Adventure, MIOMO.  The EEF support tamariki to continue their studies when they leave high school. Funding is also available for help with children (five years +) attending school holiday programmes. For further information visit www.fbeducation.com

"The EEF has been instrumental in enabling me to study an MBA while working full time at the Eastern Busway Alliance. The support the EEF has provided has enabled me to pursue a comparatively expensive online MBA course from the University of Auckland that otherwise would have been out of reach. The EEF has been amazing to work with and has supported me at every step through my journey of further education."

– Jonathan Cashmore, Project Engineer 

As part of the wider Fletcher Building company, New Zealand-based Fletcher Construction employees are able to access the Employee Welfare Fund. It exists to support our people and their families in the event of death, disability or financial hardship resulting from unexpected medical misfortune.

Sonder provides confidential, professional medical, security, mental health and wellbeing services to our people, to support them to be healthy and well at work and at home.

Sonder is a digital holistic care platform. Our people can seek real-time advice and support from trained specialists by phone or chat, every minute of the day. Sonder provides medical, mental health and wellbeing, security, personal safety and critical incident response services. This lets them access the help they need, right when they need it - no more wait times.

Sonder is available to our people and everyone in their family at no charge. It is fully funded by Fletcher Building, and is private and confidential at all times.

FBuShare is Fletcher Building’s employee share plan that allows employees of the Fletcher Building Group, including Fletcher Construction employees, to purchase Fletcher Building Shares.

Subject to certain conditions, they can receive Award Shares at no additional cost on a 1:2 basis.

We offer our employees an industry-leading parental leave package.

Our parental leave policy helps employees out when they're welcoming a new addition to their whānau, and eases the transition back to work. Modern families come in all forms, so our policy refers to primary and secondary carers rather than Mum or Dad.

Primary carers on parental leave will receive their full base pay for 26 weeks, or 50% of their normal pay for 52 weeks. Secondary carers receive two weeks of paid leave.

Aligned to our Flexible Working Policy, employees can request flexible arrangements at any time to support their return to work.

We acknowledge employee loyalty and commitment by giving long-serving employees an award after completing 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 years' continuous current service with us.

All women at Fletcher Construction have access to free membership of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) and the NZ Women's Infrastructure Network (WIN). These memberships are open through the Fletcher Building Equality Network.

NAWIC and WIN are well-established networks supporting and inspiring women in their career journeys. 

They offer a wide range of events, networking opportunities, webinars and workshops, and invaluable online resources at a national level and at a regional level, with dedicated regional chapters organising local events. 

The Hello Period workplace scheme allows our women to anonymously access reusable menstrual products, paid for by Fletcher Construction. This reduces the complexities that our women may face managing periods at work, especially women working on-site.

Our people have access to a wide range of excellent corporate discounts. Fletcher Construction is part of the wider Fletcher Building family, so we have some incredible discounts with other Fletcher Building business units including Mico and Placemakers.

Fletcher Construction employees also receive discounts that cover fuel, banks, travel, electronics and many others.
