  • Input into project feasibility and optioneering processes from a construction cost, method, time and risk perspective
  • Developing and assessment of different construction methodologies
  • Development and assessment of construction risk
  • Design management
  • Engineers Representative/Contract Administration
  • Project Management
  • Tender evaluation, subject matter expert
  • Project Controls Management (programme, risk, cost, process)
  • Project Reviews

Project Scope:

  • Roads and highways
  • Rail and tunnels
  • Ports and Marine
  • Land development
  • Buildings and commercial
  • Public spaces and parks
  • Various other infrastructure projects

To be successful in this role you will require:

  • 10yrs+ experience in the civil construction industry, working as a Project Manager or Senior Project Engineer with recent, significant experience in the local New Zealand market
  • Major projects experience and managing scope of works above $10m
  • Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) or closely related qualification
  • Ability to price work effectively, and high commercial acumen
  • Excellent communication skills along with the propensity and willingness to engage effectively with clients and stakeholders and help develop the business.

You will benefit from:

  • An impressive base salary, very similar to site-based PM roles plus short and long term bonus incentives
  • A regular office-hours work week with significant flexibility
  • Professional development and career growth opportunities at a leadership level
  • Working in a supportive and collegial team environment

This firm has an excellent track record of success, and is rapidly growing. This is significant opportunity to establish yourself in a position where future equity in the company is possible, and the ability to create something that is more than just a job.
