  • Build strong relationships with clients, consultants, subcontractors, and stakeholders
  • Identify commercial opportunities and manage project risks
  • Support resource planning and regional operational performance
  • Contribute to tendering, pre-construction, and business development
  • Work alongside the Regional Manager on business planning and growth


About You

Ideally, you will have:


  • Proven experience delivering $15M+ civil construction projects or contracts
  • Strong civil construction background
  • Senior Project Manager or experienced Project Manager experience
  • Water infrastructure experience, highly desirable
  • Strong commercial and financial management skills
  • Proven leadership and people development capability
  • Excellent client and stakeholder management skills
  • Strong understanding of programme, cost, risk, quality, and H&S
  • A practical, hands-on approach to project delivery
  • Ambition to progress into senior operational leadership


What's On Offer?


  • $180,000 – $200,000 + benefits, depending on experience
  • Genuine 2IC opportunity
  • Direct exposure to the Regional Manager and senior leadership
  • Clear pathway towards Regional Manager / operational leadership
  • Major civil infrastructure projects across Auckland
  • Significant autonomy and responsibility
  • Opportunity to influence business growth and performance
  • Strong long-term career progression
  • Established business with an exciting project pipeline
