Project Managers

Why join Breen Construction?

For nearly 85 years, Breen has been a pioneer in construction. What began in Southland and then Central Otago, today spans from Oamaru to Twizel, Dunedin to Invercargill, Alexandra and Cromwell to Wanaka. Our skilled teams work together to deliver exceptional commercial, civil, rural, architectural and residential projects.

Breen’s beginnings as a small family business are still very much the heart of who we are today. We pull together, do great work and encourage each other to be better, every single day. We look for like-minded, excellent operators and agile thinkers, who are great at what they do.
