Wellington, New Zealand Wellington City Council Full time

Pōneke is on a journey of transformational change, responding to many of the challenges cities around the world are facing, while delivering an inclusive, sustainable, and creative capital for people to live, work and play.

Wellington City Council is on track to deliver the most ambitious capital works programme our city has ever seen. The Infrastructure & Delivery group is central to much of this mahi.

Sitting within this group is our Capital Projects team who have several significant programmes of work underway such as our Housing Upgrade programme.

We are now looking to add a Senior Project Manager to this team to help deliver a variety of projects that range from potentially new high density multi-residential developments, substantial seismic upgrades, and the upgrading of standalone houses. Wellington City Council's residential portfolio is diverse which presents great opportunities to the project manager that enjoys a challenge.

As the Senior Project Manager, you will work closely with a range of stakeholders, consultants, and contractors, and will be responsible for leading projects to success, from inception to completion. With the experience you bring to the team, you will also have the opportunity to provide mentorship to junior staff in support of our goal for individual development and continuous improvement.

A quick snapshot of your day:

  1. Proactively and autonomously lead and manage the delivery of projects, ensuring successful execution within agreed budget, programme, and scope parameters, refining, and enhancing project delivery procedures and processes.
  2. Identify potential options for project delivery, generate associated scenarios and present to the Project Director for discussion, consideration and subsequent decision making.
  3. Develop Project Management Plans to serve as the project team's guideline to successfully manage project integration, scope, timeline, cost, quality, risk, resourcing, communication, procurement, stakeholder, and change management.
  4. Create procurement documentation that includes procurement plans, tenders, supporting documentation, including selecting appropriate contracts for the type of services to be acquired.
  5. Stakeholder engagement and management, including collaboratively working with our colleagues in other parts of Wellington City Council.
  6. Project reporting and communication.

About you

With over 10 years of construction industry experience (residential or commercial), you will hold a tertiary qualification and demonstrated experience in project management, design and/or construction management.

Along with strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build and maintain strong working relationships with all stakeholders, you will be experienced in the successful management of contracts, including understanding, interpreting, and responding to management, operational and financial information.

We're Working for Wellington. Wellington City Council's team provides more than 400 services every day for Wellingtonians - everything from parks and pools to consents and cemeteries - playing our part in making Pōneke an inclusive, sustainable and creative capital for people to live, work and play.

Working for the Council offers you a range of benefits including 5 weeks annual leave, flexible working options, health and wellbeing support, Council staff discounts and a range of learning and development programmes and opportunities.

Applications close 29th of December 2024. All applications must be submitted online.

All applicants must have the right to work in New Zealand.

We want to make sure any accessibility requirements you may have are well supported so the selection process is equitable for everyone. Please let us know if there are any adjustments or support we can offer to make our process more accessible to you by emailing:
