About the Role
Looking for an experienced Site Manager based in Hamilton, with strong horizontal infrastructure construction experience to take the reins on technical builds ranging from $5M to $30M. This is a full-time, permanent role that offers serious scope - you’ll take full ownership of site delivery, from managing subcontractors and driving H&S to ensuring quality and program targets are met.
You’ll typically be managing one large project at a time, working closely with the delivery team to ensure everything runs smoothly on the ground. Travel is a key part of the role — projects are based across NZ, and you’ll be away on-site for significant periods (accommodation, travel, and meals all covered).
You won’t be stuck behind a desk or micromanaged. This is a hands-on, high-trust role where you’ll be empowered to get the job done your way, with the support of a close-knit and capable team behind you.
What you’ll get to manage
- Site delivery of major infrastructure builds across NZ
- Coordination of subcontractors, suppliers, and technical works
- Site-based H&S, QA, and environmental management
- Construction programming, variations, and reporting
- End-to-end delivery of projects from site establishment to commissioning
- Understanding and interpreting project designs and construction requirements
- Leading daily site operations, toolbox talks, and pre-starts
- Managing site progress and cost forecasting with support from the PM team
- Ensuring H&S compliance, incident reporting, and documentation
- Building strong relationships with clients, consultants, and subcontractors
- Participating in project reviews and lessons-learned sessions
- Great Salary + vehicle, phone, PPE, and all travel covered
- Stable pipeline of national projects – one major project at a time
- Opportunities for growth in a respected and growing business
- Supportive, down-to-earth team that works closely across functions
- Full autonomy with a real mix of challenge and variety
You’re a natural leader with a strong background in infrastructure site delivery. You know how to juggle the big picture while keeping a close eye on the day-to-day detail.
- 8+ years’ site management experience in civil or infrastructure projects
- Strong technical knowledge across civil and mechanical build environments
- Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
- Ability to travel and work away from home
- Comfortable overseeing major site works and coordinating teams independently
- Experience in water/wastewater treatment projects would be a bonus
