Blokhaus

Blokhaus is a New Zealand recruitment agency that places workers in hands-on roles in construction, agriculture, logistics and warehousing, and industrial work. In construction it fills roles such as carpenters, labourers, electricians, plasterers, scaffolders, site managers, quantity surveyors and project managers.

Its placement types include permanent, contract and temporary recruitment, as well as modular recruitment, project specialisation and national staff supply. Other services cover candidate assessment, safety and screening, and immigration services, and it provides mobile drug and safety testing in the Southern Lakes region. It offers a risk-free two-day trial period under its Great Candidate Guarantee, and says it uses digital platforms for tracking and billing hours.

The head office is in Christchurch, with a second office in Cromwell for Otago and Southland. The company recruits in Christchurch, Wellington, Dunedin, Invercargill and the Southern Lakes. It is led by director Richard Keown, a former carpenter and joiner.
