**Company Description** Te Tākinatanga - Our Story**
At Contact, we believe home is the most important place in the world. It's all part of our vision to leave Aotearoa better than we found it. We’re a power and broadband company, but we’re so much more than that. We are transforming the ways we mahi, and how Aotearoa is powered, leading the charge on renewable energy and digitising customer journeys in ways not yet seen here. A team of 1000+ from all walks of life who love what we do, look out for each other, and learn from one another every day, we’re stoked to be guided by our tikanga: we touch lives to make life better.
Over our 25-year history we’ve built a flexible and largely renewable portfolio of electricity generation assets. We own and operate 11 power stations, are building two more, and setting wheels in motion to diversify further. Between our Tauhara build, Te Huka expansion, future developments in wind and solar, and more we can’t tell you about just yetthere is a project here you want to be a part of.
**Job Description** Kōrero mō te tūranga | About the role**
We are looking for a seasoned Construction Manager to help execute one of our newest Project ventures. GeoFuture, when completed will be a 180MW geothermal power plant and further development of our existing Te Mihi steamfield to supply the new plant. This project comes with the complexities you would imagine with a project of this scale, this role in particular will cover two separate yet integrated work areas:
- The 'Owner's Scope' which will include all civil, mechanical, electrical and I&C Steamfield systems which are required to connect the geothermal wells that deliver geothermal fluid to the new plant
- The Power Plant Contract that will include the commissioning and handover to the operations team.
These two areas will also require someone to be across both the owner scope and power plant works and connecting these all to the existing Te Mihi power plant. This role will also play a critical lead in managing a wide range of stakeholders and contractors with a safety first attitude. Your attention to detail both in documentation but more importantly in the field will be critical to ensure you are connected to all those working on site.
**Qualifications** Ko wai koe | About you**
We are looking for an experienced Construction Manger with a proven track record across large scale, complex, multi contract projects. Power generation experience with a slant towards mechanical and or electrical knowledge will also be extremely useful to you in this particular role.
You will have plenty of examples to share with us about growing and developing deep relationships and partnerships with a wide range of contractors and you are driven by clearing roadblocks and obstacles for teams to get the mahi done
**Additional Information**
This is a fixed term employment opportunity that will see this project completed in 2026. The role reports directly into our Head of Construction and Commissioning Services in our Major Projects team.
We can not promise any additional employment opportunities after the completion and commissioning of the plant.
