Senior Project Manager

Our team in the Waikato have strong personal and project connections in the community and a depth of experience across regional projects including education, commercial, and land development. We're proud of our track record to date and excited about the future -we have a committed pipeline of work and a growing presence in Hamilton and beyond.

We're now looking for a team player to take on this key role, working closely alongside the Waikato Lead and supported by the rest of the local team. With a busy pipeline of work, you'll get great exposure to a diverse range of project types and stakeholders. While you'll have a truly local focus, you'll be part of a much larger national business, where we put a strong emphasis on looking after our people and helping grow their careers.

Our vision is to be the best and most trusted project specialists in Aotearoa. Whether you're a local looking for a fresh opportunity, or if you're relocating to the region, we'd love to hear from you.

You'll get an excellent salary package but there's more to a rewarding job than that. The big things include a longer-term chance at becoming one of our employee shareholders, our support of flexible working, and we will continue your professional journey with networking, industry memberships and training opportunities. We'll help with some of the smaller things too – like decent coffee, lots of fun social events with your colleagues, and company health and well-being initiatives such as our Spring Challenge.
