About us
At Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, it all starts with our people. The organisation's performance and success depends on the people who choose to make this a great place to work and make a difference for Aotearoa.
Waka Kotahi has a strong future focus, understanding that new technologies and changing customer expectations mean the transport system we know today will not be the one we deliver in ten years' time.
As a Project Director, you will join the Transport Services business group. Transport Services provides, improves and maintains an integrated land transport system to effectively enable transport services.
We focus on designing and delivering an integrated transport system - one that reflects the plans and priorities of Waka Kotahi and its partners.
The Roads of National Significance (RoNS) are vital state highway projects that will drive economic growth and productivity through faster, more efficient transport connections that reduce travel times and create a safer, more resilient roading network.
These projects, once complete, will stimulate economic growth by supporting new housing developments and enhancing export market links, ensuring people and freight can reach their destinations quickly and safely.
With a focus on innovative funding and delivery models, we're aiming to break ground within the next three years as part of a 10-year construction pipeline, transforming New Zealand's transport network and keeping the country moving.
