About Us

Beginning in Dunedin with modest roots, Cook Brothers Construction has experienced significant growth over the past nineteen years. Today, we proudly serve the Southern Lakes, Wānaka, Canterbury, Otago, and Auckland regions.

We believe in celebrating our achievements, recognising the hard work and dedication that have driven our success. Our team and our projects stand as a testament to this commitment.

Our approach is to inspire rather than manage. We trust our teams to make the best decisions for Cook Brothers Construction, granting them the freedom to act in the company's best interest.

Our pursuit of innovation, quality, client satisfaction, sustainability, and health and safety drives us to be a national leader in the construction industry. We believe our team is the cornerstone of this ambition.

If you're eager to be a part of this journey, this role could be the perfect fit for you.

About the Role

With a strong pipeline of projects in Canterbury, Cook Brothers Construction is seeking an experienced Site Manager to take ownership of diverse and challenging builds. This is an exciting opportunity to lead projects that push your skills, provide professional growth and make a tangible impact on high-value construction works.

You will work closely with Project Managers, Quantity Surveyors, Trade Partners and your site time to ensure projects are delivered safely, on time, on budget and to the highest quality. Your leadership will drive clear communication, effective risk management, budget control, and adherence to construction methodology, codes, policies and procedures.

About you

Our ideal candidate will have at least 5 years of demonstrated commercial construction experience, managing projects valued over $10 million. A trade background is a must and experience on medical centres or hospital projects will be an advantage. You will bring strong programme and planning, management skills, proven leadership, and the ability to guide and mentor your team, whilst not shying about from having those tough conversations.

You thrive on collaboration, celebrate and ring the gong for team successes, and are confident navigating challenges to keep projects on track. A high level of Health and Safety leadership, compliance awareness and solid IT proficiency are essential.

Why Cook Brothers Construction

In return, you will join a company that truly values your skills, supports your professional growth and offers the opportunity to work on exciting, innovative projects. This is your change to take ownership of impactful builds, collaborate with a dedicated and supportive team and make a meaningful difference.

If you are passionate about delivering excellence and inspiring your team to perform at their best, we would love to hear from you. Apply now and be part of shaping our next successful project
