Project Manager

An established and growing New Zealand infrastructure contractor is looking for an experienced Project Manager to join its Auckland operation.
The business delivers a range of specialist infrastructure projects across Auckland and the wider region, working with major public and private sector clients.

This is an opportunity to take genuine ownership of projects from award through to completion. You'll work closely with clients, field teams, subcontractors and suppliers, with responsibility for ensuring projects are delivered safely, commercially and to programme.

This is a hands-on Project Management position where you'll remain close to both the client and what's happening on site.

Your responsibilities will include:
  • Managing infrastructure projects from planning through to completion and handover
  • Developing programmes and coordinating labour, subcontractors, materials and equipment
  • Managing project budgets, costs, claims and variations
  • Maintaining visibility over project margins and commercial performance
  • Building strong relationships with clients and key stakeholders
  • Coordinating internal delivery and field teams
  • Managing subcontractors and suppliers
  • Identifying project risks and resolving delivery issues early
  • Ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to the required quality
  • Providing accurate project reporting across programme and financial performance
  • Supporting repeat business through strong project delivery and client relationships
We're looking for someone who understands how to take ownership of a project rather than simply administer it.

You'll ideally bring:
  • Proven Project Management experience within infrastructure, civil construction, utilities or a similar contracting environment
  • Experience managing projects from award through to handover
  • Strong commercial understanding and confidence managing project costs
  • Experience coordinating field teams, subcontractors and suppliers
  • Strong client and stakeholder management skills
  • The ability to manage multiple priorities and keep projects moving
  • A practical approach to problem solving and decision making
  • Good communication skills across both site and senior client stakeholders
  • A strong understanding of health, safety and quality in a contracting environment
We're open to different infrastructure backgrounds. More important is someone who understands contracting, is commercially switched on and can confidently take responsibility for their projects.

What's On Offer You'll be joining a well-established New Zealand contractor with a strong pipeline of infrastructure work and continued growth ahead.
The business has a practical, down-to-earth culture and gives its Project Managers the autonomy to take responsibility for their projects rather than operating within unnecessary layers of management.

For someone who enjoys being across the commercial, operational and client sides of delivery, this is an opportunity to take genuine ownership and play an important part in the continued growth of the Auckland operation.
