Meet the team: MAIA 👋
After four years with Trenchmate, Maia knows a thing or two about keeping things moving. As part of our operations and transport team, no two days are quite the same.

What do you do at Trenchmate?
A bit of everything! From taking customer orders and organising daily and weekly schedules, to coordinating transport and overseeing operations, I’m basically making sure everything runs as smoothly as possible.

What were you doing before Trenchmate?
I was a truck driver for eight years, doing a bit of everything from night swaps and linehaul to the occasional metro run. I started at Trenchmate as a truck driver, and as opportunities came up, I moved into operations and transport. I’ve been in my current role for the last three and a half years.

What do you enjoy most about your job?
The variety. It’s not always sitting behind a computer screen. Some days I’ll be out helping the guys on the floor building gear in the morning, then jumping in the truck for deliveries in the afternoon. No two days are ever the same.
But the people I work alongside would have to be my favourite part. We’re like one big family.

Important question: what’s your go-to lunch or drink?
😂 A Deep Spring Orange & Mango, paired with a ham and cheese sausage roll from Callum’s Bakery. Lol.

And what will we find you doing when you’re not at Trenchmate?
Spending time with my partner and kids. We do lots of family activities and road trips together.

Love your work, Maia!

Now that's a sight for sore eyes! 🙌
Our solar-powered Siltmates are hard at work, safely catching sediment and treating it, so these responsible contractors can later safely discharge clean water into the stormwater network. 🌱
Give us a bell if you need one of these good guys on site!

Trenching isn’t all about just plonking down some shields in a hole. They can be used strategically too. For example, this is a service port boxed out inside so the guys can work safely inside an excavated pit. Our sales guys have seen it all and provided many innovative solutions over the years, so feel free to reach out for solutions to a niggly job you might have!

The early bird gets the worm - and the best sunrise views!
One of our drivers, Gary, took this photo on the Desert Road yesterday morning on his way to a delivery down the line. He left Auckland at 3am and we reckon this was a good reward for his early start 🙌

Now that’s a great office view! This was a Tamaki Drive job in Auckland, working on the stormwater outflow and using an Octobox to perfectly fit the space.
