Senior Project Manager | Residential Developments | Wellington

Some Project Manager roles are about keeping projects afloat. This one is about making good projects even better.

We're working with a well-established Wellington builder and developer that has quietly built one of the strongest pipelines in the region. Rather than relying on one type of work, they deliver a mix of medium-density developments, architectural homes, land development and government projects, giving their team variety and long-term stability.

They're looking for a Project Manager who enjoys taking ownership, solving problems early and delivering projects that everyone can be proud of.

This isn't a role where you'll spend your time chasing trades because nobody planned ahead. The business has invested heavily in systems, processes and people, giving Project Managers the support they need to focus on delivery.

What you'll be doing
You'll take ownership of multiple residential projects from site establishment through to handover, balancing programme, quality, commercial outcomes and client expectations.

You'll be involved in:
  • Managing project programmes and delivery
  • Coordinating subcontractors and suppliers
  • Procurement and commercial oversight
  • Client and consultant communication
  • Health & Safety leadership
  • Quality and defect management
  • Driving projects through to successful completion
About you
We're less concerned about where you've worked than how you work.
You might already be delivering residential developments.
You could be working in commercial construction and looking for a change.
Or perhaps you're a Senior Site Manager who's ready to step into project management.

What matters most is that you:
  • Plan ahead rather than react
  • Take ownership when things go wrong
  • Communicate openly with clients and subcontractors
  • Understand the commercial impact of decisions
  • Care about quality as much as programme
  • Like being out on projects rather than sitting behind a desk
Why this opportunity stands out The leadership team believes good Project Managers should be trusted to make decisions.

They're not interested in micromanagement.

Instead, they've built strong internal support around their delivery teams, allowing Project Managers to concentrate on running projects well.
Performance is recognised too, with a genuine bonus structure that rewards quality delivery and commercial outcomes rather than simply hours worked.

What's on offer
  • Competitive salary package
  • Company vehicle
  • Phone, laptop and iPad
  • Performance-based bonus
  • Strong pipeline of work
  • Variety across medium-density, residential and development projects
  • Stable, privately owned business with a long-term outlook
  • Supportive team and experienced leadership
If you're enjoying what you do but have been wondering whether there's something better out there, we'd love to have a confidential conversation.
