Christchurch Central, New Zealand Grada Recruitment Full time

Shape major projects without the red tape.

This is your chance to step into a senior leadership role delivering some of the South Island's most exciting projects – from luxury hotels and wineries to large-scale healthcare, retail and airport developments.

You'll join a respected project management consultancy that's growing fast in Christchurch. The team is collaborative, humble and ambitious — no egos, no politics, just smart people who back each other and get the job done.

As a Senior Project Manager, you'll:

  • Lead complex, multi-stage developments from feasibility, to concept through delivery.
  • Act as the bridge between the Directors and the PM team providing guidance, structure, and stability as the business scales.
  • Work directly with clients across commercial, healthcare and tourism sectors.
  • Take ownership; you'll be trusted, empowered and supported, not micromanaged.

The business throws people in the deep end (in a good way). You'll get exposure to major projects, real decision-making responsibility, and a steep professional growth curve.

What you'll need

  • 7–12 years' construction industry experience, with at least 2 years of client-side or consultancy project management.
  • Proven ability to deliver end-to-end projects — not just assist on them
  • Strong stakeholder management and leadership skills
  • A genuine, down-to-earth attitude — you take your work seriously, but not yourself.

What's on offer

  • Salary $130K–$180K + benefits (based on experience)
  • Projects you'll actually be proud to put your name to
  • A culture where laughter and hard work sit side by side
  • Genuine progression as the business continues to grow

If you're looking for a role where you can make an impact, lead from the front, and still enjoy coming to work every day — this one's worth a look.
