• Develop method statements, work packs and JSEAs with supervisors, and manage day-to-day delivery against programme milestones
• Lead a team, coaching technical skills, running toolbox talks and setting clear performance expectations
• Monitor costs, track production against S-curves and contribute to monthly reporting with accurate forecasts

• Ensure quality records are completed to handover standard and all work meets resource consent and contractual requirements

• A tertiary qualification in engineering or a related discipline
• At least five years of experience in civil construction, with direct involvement in pipeline renewals or underground infrastructure projects
• Solid understanding of construction methods, sequencing and the practical realities of working in live network environments
• Experience supervising site teams and subcontractors, with the confidence to lead morning briefings, manage performance and resolve issues on the ground
• Good commercial awareness, including the ability to track costs, identify risks early and contribute meaningfully to cost-to-complete forecasts
• Strong communication and organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple moving parts and keep stakeholders informed without being prompted
