Mō te tūranga | About the role

This is one of those roles with real scale, real complexity and real impact.

We’re after an experienced Project Manager to take the reins on major horizontal civil infrastructure projects across Tāmaki Makaurau. You’ll have full responsibility for delivering significant roading improvements, rail interfaces, level crossings and airside pavement renewals, as well as other complex, transport-focused and services-heavy work.

You’ll be steering large infrastructure projects typically in the $20m to $100m range - multi-year programmes with plenty of interfaces and visibility right across the region. These are the jobs people see and experience every time they’re on the network.

Day to day, you’ll be right in the thick of it in live, high-stakes environments, sequencing works around traffic, rail and airport activity while keeping safety, programme and cost firmly on track. It’s a chance to lock into long-term projects, lead from the front and help shape the infrastructure communities rely on every day.

If you like work with scale, complexity and a team that backs good ideas over big egos, you’ll feel right at home here. This is Good Work in action - serious work, not-so-serious people, all moving forward together.
