**About the role**:
This role plays a key part in overseeing the delivery of initiatives mainly in the Client Leadership focus area of the Accord. Key initiatives identified include the improvement of contract conditions and risk transfer, implementation of broader outcomes and standardisation of procurement throughout the supply chain.

The roles will also be responsible as required for providing quality advice and support to government agencies on their significant commercial infrastructure business cases and procurement strategies.

The Construction Sector Accord (CSA) is a joint commitment from government and industry to work together to create a high performing construction sector in New Zealand. The Construction Sector Transformation Plan is a three-year action plan for change that is focused on addressing the challenges faced by the sector. The CSA Transformation Team is “hosted” by the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE). This team will ensure the success of the current iteration of the Transformation Plan, build on momentum of the work done to date, and develop the plan to be fit for purpose moving forward.

This role will require:

- Working in partnership with the wider Design and Delivery team to gather evidence, conduct options analysis for the development of policy options and intervention designs;
- Building and maintaining strong relationships with partner organisations (across government and industry) to enable collaborative solution design
- Overseeing a range of initiatives delivered by different parties in different ways, monitoring initiative progress to ensure they achieve their desired benefits and escalate risks appropriately.
- Providing advice to agencies on which ensure higher quality commercial results and agency priorities and outcomes (including broader outcomes are achieved).
- (Principal Only) Enhancing the overall agency in-house procurement and commercial capability through guiding and mentoring the Senior Advisor Construction Procurement plus others in NZ Government Procurement.

The role will be fast-paced, requiring an ability to manage a high volume of activity while managing to deadlines. It will require a flexible approach as the nature and content of the work will change depending on the requirements of each project over time.

This is a permanent role and we welcome applicants from across both the public and private sector. We will also consider the opportunity for secondments.
