Bayofplenty, New Zealand Cgr Services Full time

This is a unique opportunity to use your first-rate engineering and project management skills to contribute to the planning and development of multi-modal transport networks in New Zealand.
This will involve close collaboration and engagement with other teams in the Transport Agency, local authorities, and a variety of stakeholders and development partners.
This is where your strong relationship skills will come to the fore. We are looking for someone that leads in our values behaviours and advocating for best practice with our suppliers throughout the project lifecycle.
You should be able to effectively communicate with design and business case teams and understand how to effect good results during construction and for later operations and maintenance activities.
This role provides an opportunity to lead projects that support rapid growth and development.
About us
At Waka Kotahi, the NZ Transport Agency, it all starts with our people. The organisation's performance and success depend on the people who choose to make this a great place to work and make a difference for Aotearoa.
The Transport Agency 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.
The focus of the Transport Services is to provide, improve and maintain an integrated land transport system to effectively enable people centred, technology-enabled, system focused transport services, in partnership with other system providers.
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.
About you
You will bring strong leadership to the team to support best practice design and delivery outcomes.
The successful candidate needs to demonstrate a sound knowledge of developing integrated solutions designed to address prioritised transport system issues effectively and from a customer perspective. In addition, to be successful in this role, you will bring:

Extensive experience managing and leading technical teams within the transport and construction industry
Extensive experience in project/programme management
Strong financial and risk management
Experience in engaging with key strategic stakeholders
Experience with advanced procurement models
Experience in managing contracts, ideally within the road transport area and a sound understanding of NZS391X
Experience in analysing complex engineering problems and solutions is desirable
Broad experience in design of road construction works and an in-depth knowledge of the processes involved in planning, designing and building is desirable
An engineering qualification and project management experience within the roading/engineering sector is desirable
A Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng or equivalent) and a professional member of Engineering NZ is desirable

Along with our other benefits we also have new Waka Kotahi Life, Income Protection and Critical Illness Insurance scheme available for permanent employees.
