Queenstown, New Zealand Remarkable People Limited Full time

Remarkable People Limited – Queenstown, South Island

Are you a skilled and driven engineer looking for a unique leadership role, or an entrepreneurial professional ready to build and shape a growing business? This is an exciting opportunity to become a key player in the expansion of a well-established and respected engineering firm into the South Island market.

As the Director/Lead Engineer for the Queenstown and South Island operations, you will have the chance to significantly influence the strategic direction and growth of the business, while leveraging your technical expertise or business acumen. Whether you are a technically skilled engineer with a passion for high-end projects or a business-savvy individual ready to take on an entrepreneurial role, this opportunity offers the potential for substantial ownership in the business—up to 49%.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead and drive the growth of the South Island operations, including business development and client relationship management.
  • Take a hands-on role in local project inspections, providing engineering expertise and leadership in project execution.
  • Build and expand the company’s local network to generate new business opportunities.
  • Collaborate closely with the established North Island team to maintain high standards of engineering excellence and ensure alignment with broader company goals.
  • Be a pivotal player in shaping the company’s strategy, operations, and long-term success in the South Island.
What We’re Looking For:
  • A Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng) with a strong passion for high-end residential and commercial projects.
  • An entrepreneurial mindset with a desire to help grow and lead a business.
  • A collaborative team player who thrives in dynamic, fast-paced environments and is excited to make a tangible impact.
  • Strong local knowledge and connections within Queenstown or the wider Otago region would be a distinct advantage.
  • A commitment to excellence, integrity, and client satisfaction.
What’s on Offer:
  • The potential for up to a 49% equity share in the South Island operations, providing a real opportunity for ownership and profit sharing.
  • The chance to be a pivotal part of a growing business with significant influence over its direction, strategy, and operations.
  • A collaborative work environment with an experienced team of engineers, where your contributions will be highly valued.
  • Strong financial backing from established North Island operations to support short-term growth and expansion into the South Island.

This role is perfect for someone who is ready to take on a leadership position, whether you are focused on engineering excellence or looking to build and run a business. The position offers flexibility for either one individual to manage both business development and technical review or for a team of individuals with complementary skills to share responsibilities.

Are you ready to take the next step in your career and build something truly impactful in Queenstown and beyond?
