Since 1994, Kiwi excavator operators have been competing in the annual Civil Contractors New Zealand National Excavator Operator Competition, an event still going strong. In the national event, the champions of CCNZ’s Regional Excavator Operator Competitions (REOCs) compete in March each year at the Central District Field Days in Feilding.
CCNZ congratulates all the finalists from the 2023-2024 National Excavator Operator Competition, which was held from 14-16 March at Central Districts Field Days. The competition winner was Defending Champion Troy Calteaux of Andrew Haulage 2011 Ltd in Otago. Read about the results>>
