New Plymouth, New Zealand Clelands Construction Full time

Clelands Construction – New Plymouth, North Island

Cleands Construction has been operating in Taranaki since 1916, with a commitment to providing our clients with the highest level of service. With a team of 90, we are the largest commercial construction company in Taranaki and operate across all market sectors. Our work is interesting, challenging, and varied.

Our team believes in a proactive approach to all aspects of our business, particularly in quality, safety, and delivery. By consistently getting this right, we give our customers confidence and peace of mind during the process of planning, pricing, and construction.

To support a sustained workload and with a number of exciting projects on the horizon, we are seeking an experienced construction professional to join our team.

The Role

This Project Director role is a permanent, full-time position. You will be joining an established team of experienced construction professionals. We’re looking for someone with senior-level experience, so that you will be set to hit the ground running in this high-performing team.

In return, Clelands Construction will provide you competitive remuneration, a company vehicle, Southern Cross Health Insurance, and you’ll get to be part of exciting construction projects throughout our region. Some of our previous notable work includes:

  • Yarrow Stadium Redevelopment
  • New Plymouth Airport
  • New Plymouth Police Station
  • Port Taranaki Office (5 Green Stars)
  • Puke Ariki Library & Museum
About You

Fundamental to your success in this role is your drive and motivation, accompanied by a high level of integrity and ability. Your previous experience in the end-to-end delivery of commercial construction projects in Aotearoa New Zealand will ensure a solid foundation of knowledge for this role.

At the heart of both Clelands Construction as a company, and with this role in particular, is the importance of building and maintaining client and stakeholder relationships. Given this, you will be well-versed in establishing and maintaining positive working relationships at all levels.

Clelands Construction operates with a strong values structure. The ideal candidate will contribute to a culture where these values are integral to the way we think and act.

In addition to the above, the ideal candidate will have:

  • 10+ years’ experience in management roles within the NZ commercial construction environment.
  • Cultural competency and respect for tikanga, or a genuine willingness to grow your cultural appreciation and ability alongside our valued iwi partners.
  • Project management skills and the ability to guide and support project managers and estimators.
  • Commercial skills and the ability to lead project feasibility and value engineering exercises.
  • Contractual competency and a desire to minimize risk for all parties and find win-win solutions.
  • Developed communication skills with the ability to achieve mutual respect and success in a team environment.
  • Experience and ability in drafting construction programmes and methodologies as well as an ability to confidently use construction management software.
  • Relevant tertiary and/or trade qualifications.

Although this role will be at a senior level in the company, all management staff at Clelands are expected to muck in wherever they may be required. Don’t be surprised if you find one of our directors washing dishes in the smoko room or on a broom helping get a project ready for handover.
