Christchurch Central, New Zealand Remarkable People Limited Full time

Kick-Start 2026 as a Project Manager Who Actually Runs the Job Christchurch | Commercial Construction | Strong 2026 Pipeline

New year. Clean slate. Bigger projects.

We're recruiting an experienced Project Manager to kick-start 2026 with a well-established national construction business entering its next phase of growth. The pipeline is locked in, the systems are solid, and the leadership team is backing delivery people who know how to run a site and a P&L.

This is a role for someone who wants ownership, trust, and impact, not noise.

Why Start 2026 Here

  • Confirmed commercial projects already queued for 2026
  • Leadership that trusts Project Managers to lead, not babysits them
  • High-calibre site teams and trade partners
  • A delivery culture built on strong safety, quality, and accountability
  • The chance to step into the year already ahead of the curve

No "wait and see." No scrambling for work. You hit January running.

The Role You'll own end-to-end delivery of commercial builds - programme, budget, people, safety, quality, and client relationships. You'll be expected to think ahead, lead decisively, and deliver projects that perform commercially and reputationally.

This is about:

  • Running projects on time, on budget, with a zero-harm mindset
  • Leading Site Managers, QSs, and project teams with clarity
  • Managing subcontractors and stakeholders without friction
  • Owning forecasting, reporting, and commercial outcomes
  • Mentoring others and lifting overall project performance

Who This Suits You're likely:

  • A seasoned Project Manager with 7+ years' commercial build experience
  • Comfortable owning financial outcomes, not just schedules
  • Strong in communication - calm, direct, and credible
  • Someone who thrives in structured, well-run environments
  • Ready to step into 2026 with momentum rather than burnout

LBP preferred, but delivery pedigree matters more.

The Upside

  • Stability and challenge (rare combo)
  • Projects you'll be proud to put on your CV
  • Real autonomy, backed by strong leadership
  • A business playing the long game, not quarter-to-quarter survival

Confidential Search

This role is being managed confidentially.

If 2025 felt like maintenance mode, this is your reset.

Kick-start 2026 by stepping into a role that's already moving.
