Recruitment of motivated, experienced staff and provision of ongoing relevant training ensures high morale within our team.
Mark Hammond - Director
Mark has 30 years industry experience, this comprises 17 years in Precast Concrete working for Firth Stresscrete and HEB Precast including involvement in projects such as Te Papa, one of the single largest projects undertaken independently in the country at the time.
Having made the decision to branch out into Steel Fixing as a specialty field in 1999, Mark had a vision to establish a professional Steel Fixing service which has led to involvement in a myriad of projects across the North Island of New Zealand and Australia. Most recently, Directors of Dellta Contractors played a pivotal roll in the development of New Zealand's first NZQA aligned training credential in Steel Fixing.
Cherie Hammond - Director
Cherie has run all human resource, accounts, contractual and health and safety requirements of the family Steel Fixing businesses for over 20 years. In addition, she has experience at a senior management level in the Sports Industry (primarily Aquatics where she developed her extensive understanding of Health and Safety requirements).

Brian Hammond - Operations Manager, Australasia
Brian has 30 years industry experience, comprising 15 years in Precast Concrete working for Firth Stresscrete and an additional 20 years as Operations Manager for our successful steel fixing company, which has specialised in large infrastructure projects for the most recent ten of those. He has run Steel Fixing projects in both New Zealand and Australia; where he worked on projects such as the Perth Children’s’ Hospital, Wheatstone Project, Waikato Expressway, and the Victorian Governments 5 Year Level Crossing removal project. Brian most recently oversaw his second Level crossing removal project with the construction of L beams for the Western Australian government during 2023, along with retaining walls and planks for the same purpose.
Lleyton Hammond - Foreman
Like many of our senior staff, Lleyton has been fully trained by Dellta Contractors to our exacting standards in both operations and Health and Safety. Lleyton initially worked part-time for the company during his senior years of high school before joining the team full-time in 2021. He has carried out a Team Leader role, overseeing the production of the PP2O barriers at the Otaihanga Yard during 2019 and 2020 before extending his range of experience in steel fixing in 2021; when he worked on Uniculverts for the Victoria – Queensland Inland Rail project out of Tamworth, New South Wales. This was where his maturing attitude to the importance of effective forward planning and efficient construction methodologies was identified, resulting in his promotion to Leading Hand in late 2022. He then assisted on a number of projects of national significance including Waikeria Prison, Tauhara Geothermal Plant, Waikato Expressway - Hamilton East, along with Takitimu North Link before progressing into a Foreman role.
