Job description

Rwr Construction – Wellington Central, North Island

Project Manager or Site Manager

Based in Palmerston North

Our client is a respected commercial construction company with a strong forward workload across civic, education, and health projects. They’ve built their reputation on practical delivery, clear communication, and genuine care for their people.

They’re now looking for a Project Manager to take ownership of commercial projects from planning through to handover. This role will suit an experienced Project Manager or a proven Site Manager who’s ready to step into a broader leadership position while still staying connected to delivery.

You’ll work as part of a capable and stable team that values collaboration over hierarchy. With robust systems, experienced support across QS and procurement, and a culture built on teamwork, this is a chance to take the next step without losing the hands‑on satisfaction of getting projects across the line.

The role includes :

  • Overseeing commercial construction projects from pre‑start to completion
  • Managing programme, quality, budget, and client communication
  • Coordinating subcontractors, consultants, and internal delivery teams
  • Leading site operations to ensure safe, efficient, and high‑quality outcomes
  • Supporting and mentoring teams while keeping projects on track

Why this role appeals :

  • Opportunity for a strong Site Manager to step up into full Project Management
  • Genuine work‑life balance, no weekend expectations or unrealistic deadlines
  • Stable pipeline of negotiated and tendered commercial projects
  • Down‑to‑earth culture with open communication and experienced leadership
  • What you’ll bring :

  • Proven delivery experience in commercial construction
  • Strong organisational and people‑management skills
  • Confidence leading teams and managing project outcomes
  • A practical, solution‑focused mindset
  • If you’re ready to take on more responsibility while staying close to the action, this is a great opportunity to grow within a business that values good people and steady progress over flash titles.

    Please note - we do not always work to fixed closing dates and may start considering applications as they are received, so we encourage you to apply early.
