Job description

We're seeking an experienced Electrical Project Manager to join our Queenstown team.

At Downer we plan, create and sustain. Downer is the leading provider of integrated services in Australia and New Zealand. Through trusted relationships and world leading insight we work closely with our customers to design, build and sustain assets, infrastructure, and facilities.

Ko te take ka parekareka e koe ki te mahi ki kōnei | Why you will enjoy working here

Downer is committed to delivering excellence by ensuring our people have the environment and the means to be successful. We offer :

Te kōwhiringa | The Opportunity

Downer is a leading provider of integrated services across New Zealand, with a strong presence in transport, utilities, and infrastructure. Our Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) division plays a key role in keeping people moving safely and efficiently by delivering and maintaining traffic signals, lighting, and advanced transport technologies.

We're seeking an experienced Electrical Project Manager to join our Queenstown team. In this key leadership role, you'll take charge of complex and rewarding projects that improve road safety and enhance community connectivity across the Otago region. You'll be leading a skilled crew of Supervising Electricians, Electricians, and Apprentices, guiding them to deliver high-quality electrical works across traffic signals, lighting, and intelligent transport systems.

This is a role where no two days are the same - from delivering new installations and upgrades to providing technical support on critical programmes like Milford Road avalanche control, you'll be at the heart of projects that make a tangible difference to the community. You'll also play a key part in expanding Downer's presence in Otago, working alongside senior leaders to identify growth opportunities and strengthen client relationships.

Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver a wide variety of planned and reactive electrical works across ITS and traffic signals
  • Ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and client satisfaction
  • Oversee maintenance, repairs, and installations including lighting and technical support for programmes such as Milford Road avalanche control
  • Play a key role in business growth, tender preparation, and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Build strong relationships with clients, subcontractors, and stakeholders
  • Promote and embed a Zero Harm culture across all operations
  • This position requires flexibility, as some projects involve night shifts, weekend work, and travel outside the Queenstown area.

    Nga pūkenga matua | Important Skills

    To be successful in this position you will bring with you :

  • Proven project management experience in the electrical or related industries
  • NZ Registered Electrician with a current practising license
  • Tertiary qualification in Project Management, Engineering, or related field would be advantageous
  • Strong leadership skills, with the ability to coach, develop and motivate teams
  • Financial acumen with experience in budgeting, cost control, and reporting
  • Excellent stakeholder and client management skills
  • Ko wai mātou | Our Organisation
