Project Manager

About the Company:

We're working with one of New Zealand's leading specialists in water treatment and process infrastructure. They deliver complex design and build projects across municipal and industrial sectors, combining in-house engineering, fabrication, construction and commissioning under one roof.

With around 100 staff, this business has built an outstanding reputation delivering complex water infrastructure projects nationwide.
The culture is collaborative, practical and hands on. People are trusted to make decisions, take ownership and contribute to the continued growth of the business.

Internal development is genuinely encouraged, with many senior leaders having progressed through the organisation.

As demand continues to grow, they're looking for a Project Manager who can take ownership of multidisciplinary projects from early design coordination through to successful delivery on site.

You'll be involved from the earliest stages of a project, coordinating consultants, working alongside process and mechanical engineers, managing civil and building interfaces, and ensuring projects are delivered safely, commercially and to programme.

Projects typically range from around $500k through to well into the multi million dollar range and are located throughout New Zealand.

You'll be responsible for:

• Managing projects from design through to construction and commissioning
• Coordinating civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and process disciplines
• Managing external consultants and subcontractors
• Working closely with internal engineering and fabrication teams
• Overseeing programme, commercial performance and client relationships
• Travelling to project sites throughout New Zealand as required, typically around one week per month

About You:

We're open on background, but you'll ideally bring experience delivering multidisciplinary infrastructure or industrial projects.

You might come from:

• Three Waters
• Water or wastewater treatment
• Industrial or process plants
• Mechanical services
• Civil infrastructure
• Heavy industrial construction

More importantly, you'll have:

• Proven experience managing projects from design through to completion
• Strong understanding of coordinating multiple disciplines
• Confidence managing subcontractors and consultants
• Excellent communication and client management skills
• Commercial awareness and programme management capability
• The ability to work autonomously and take ownership

What's on Offer:

• Salary circa $150,000-$170,000 depending on experience
• Work on technically interesting, multidisciplinary projects
• National project exposure across New Zealand
• Genuine autonomy and ownership
• Strong pipeline of secured work
• Long-term career development within a growing organisation
• Supportive, high-performing team culture

If you're looking for a Project Management role where you'll be involved in far more than simply delivering construction, we'd love to have a confidential chat.
