Hamilton, Waikato, New Zealand X4 Construction Full time NZ$120,000 - NZ$180,000 per year

Are you an experienced Project Manager with an engineering background, looking to take ownership of complex land development projects from concept through to delivery?

I am currently working with a established consultancy that has built a strong reputation across the Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions. With in-house expertise across engineering, surveying, and planning, this locally owned firm delivers a wide range of land development and infrastructure projects — from residential subdivisions through to large-scale commercial and industrial developments.

As their Waikato presence continues to grow, they're now seeking a skilled Senior Project Manager to join their close-knit team and play a key role in driving project success and client relationships.

The Role

You'll lead land development and civil engineering projects from feasibility through to construction and handover — coordinating internal teams, managing budgets, and ensuring quality outcomes for clients.

Key aspects of the role include:

  • Managing project delivery across civil design, surveying, and planning disciplines
  • Liaising with clients, contractors, and local authorities to ensure smooth project progress
  • Overseeing budgets, schedules, and project risk
  • Providing technical input and quality assurance through the project lifecycle
  • Contributing to proposals, repeat business, and ongoing client partnerships

You'll be supported by an experienced leadership team who value initiative, collaboration, and local expertise — and you'll have the opportunity to help shape the continued growth of their Waikato operations.

About You

We're looking for someone who brings both technical insight and strong project leadership:

  • Relevant tertiary qualification in civil engineering
  • 8+ years proven experience managing land development or infrastructure projects within an NZ based consulting environment
  • Strong commercial awareness and understanding of project delivery within New Zealand's regulatory environment
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and deliver quality outcomes

This would suit an experienced Civil Engineer or Project Manager ready to step into a client-facing, leadership-focused role where you can make a tangible impact on regional development.

Why Apply?
  • Join a respected local consultancy with a strong project pipeline and long-term client base
  • Enjoy autonomy, professional growth, and flexible work-life balance
  • Be part of a supportive team culture that values quality, integrity, and sustainability
  • Genuine opportunity to contribute to the growth of the Waikato office & beyond

If you're looking for a role that blends technical expertise, project leadership, and regional impact — this is an excellent opportunity to join a business that values people, relationships, and long-term success.
