Mōu ake | About you

In this role, you will have plenty of scope for success. We are looking for a ‘can do’ Project Manager, with a bias for action, who is ready to learn and develop, with a real passion for project delivery and a focus on achieving great outcomes for our clients. You will enjoy working in teams, as well as having responsibility for delivery of your part of a project. You will be a relationship builder, with the ability to collaborate with others on projects, including external stakeholders, clients, contractors, iwi and community groups.

You will have previous experience working in a consulting environment either as an Assistant Project Manager, Project Manager, Engineer or in a technical role, and are now looking to move into a delivery role within a professional consulting business. You may have run projects of different scope and scale previously and be ready to make that next step in the complexity and scale of projects you work on and will ideally have experience in contract administration and fulfilling the role of Engineers Representative with the desire to learn about local and central government funding of large infrastructure and buildings projects, and strategic regional planning.

You will be keen to build credible relationships across designers, clients, contractors, and iwi partners.

We also like to have fun along the way, so a good sense of humour will hold you in good stead.
