Build Your Future with

Agri-Fencing Taranaki

Join a team that’s proud to fence smarter, work harder, and grow stronger together.

Agri-Fencing Taranaki is a forward-thinking, family-owned fencing company delivering high-quality agricultural and environmental fencing across Taranaki. Our work spans from sheep and beef to lifestyle blocks, conservation areas, and complex technical jobs. With over 20 years’ experience and a reputation for innovation, we’re proud to blend top craftsmanship with sustainability and smart technology. We’re also committed to growing our people. That means mentoring and creating real progression pathways, especially for experienced fencers who are ready to level up. New Zealand is home to some of the best fencers in the world and we’re proud to carry that standard.

The Role

We’re on the lookout for a capable, skilled and dependable Lead Fencer who can take ownership of jobs, represent our brand with pride, and deliver fences built to last. This is a hands-on position ideal for someone ready to step up into a more autonomous role, while being supported by an experienced team and strong systems. You’ll already be confident in your fencing abilities and have a solid grasp of rural/agricultural fencing systems — but you’re also keen to learn more about running jobs, leading others, and managing customer relationships. Whether you're an experienced fencer ready to lead, or a capable operator looking to grow into business leadership, we want to hear from you.
