Matco owner Matt Paget has over 25 years’ experience working in the civil infrastructure industry
With his extensive experience and knowledge working in the civil infrastructure industry, he is as much at ease on the tools as he is managing high budget projects with multiple stakeholders.
After starting out in the industry at 16, Matt worked his way from a labourer to a machine operator including bulldozers, graders, motor scrapers & excavators, to becoming a foreman/supervisor running multiple jobs and crews for various high-profile clients. Before starting MATCO in 2017 Matt held an operational management position for 12 years at one of the largest civil roading and infrastructure companies in NZ. Matt has extensive on-site experience, from supervising field testing to keeping tabs on health and safety, environmental impacts and traffic monitoring. His ability to relate to field staff as well as stakeholders and clients ensures that MATCO has the depth and ability to manage your project no matter what size.
Matt was awarded the first ever trade certification given in New Zealand, after being selected to take part in the pilot scheme for the New Zealand trade certificate through Civil Contractors NZ and Connexis.
Matt has strong family values and a focus on nurturing young workers within the industry. Here at MATCO your family is our family!
