What We Do

Specialist Services for the Civil Sector

Every service we offer comes from direct industry experience — not off-the-shelf compliance templates.

Health & Safety Management

We design and implement H&S systems tailored to civil operations — from site documentation to full HSWA 2015 audit compliance. Built to withstand real-world scrutiny.

Operator Training & Assessment

NZQA unit standard assessment for mobile plant, small plant, and power tools. Our Connexis (Civil ITO) assessors deliver workplace-based assessment against nationally recognised standards.

Incident Investigation

Impartial, professionally documented incident investigations. Reports are structured to give your business clear findings and actionable recommendations — without the spin.

Bobcat & Compact Plant

Nationally credentialled training for the full Bobcat range — Skid Steer, Excavator, Roller, and ancillary equipment. Our lead trainer is a former National Demonstrator for the Bobcat product line.

Post-Incident Drug Testing

On-site oral drug testing following incidents to provide an objective determination of impairment. Admissible results, conducted by qualified HSE personnel.

HSE Documentation Systems

We create ready-to-deploy H&S document suites for civil businesses — registers, procedures, emergency plans, and induction material that hold up under WorkSafe scrutiny.

About Us

Founded to Fill a Real Gap

Topgun Civil Consultants was established by Shayne Summers to address a genuine shortage of qualified H&S and training expertise within civil construction. Too many operators are assessed by people who have never run the machines themselves.

Our team brings decades of hands-on civil plant experience alongside formal assessment and HSE qualifications — a combination that is rare and genuinely valuable to businesses who need compliant, competent crews.
