Job description

Junior Project Manager – UINZ Group

Join a team building infrastructure that matters — above and below ground.

UINZ Group is growing, and we’re looking for a motivated Junior Project Manager to support our Project Managers and Construction Manager across a range of civil, trenchless, and infrastructure projects in the Canterbury region.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their construction or engineering career who wants to step up, take ownership, and grow into a senior role over time.

About the Role

As a Junior Project Manager, you’ll be involved in the full project lifecycle, helping ensure our projects — including open-cut and trenchless operations — are delivered safely, efficiently, and to a high standard. You’ll work closely with our senior team, gaining hands‑on experience across programme management, cost control, QA, and client communication.

Your responsibilities will include :

  • Assisting with planning and managing construction and trenchless programmes
  • Tracking progress and updating schedules
  • Identifying and managing design changes
  • Supporting site and trenchless crews with documentation and reporting
  • Overseeing QA processes and ensuring compliance
  • Helping maintain strong relationships with clients, subcontractors, and suppliers
  • Contributing to safety, quality, and environmental standards across all projects

What We’re Looking For

  • A keen interest in civil construction, trenchless work, and project delivery
  • Tertiary qualification in construction management, engineering, or similar (preferred but not essential)
  • Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
  • Good communicator and a proactive team player
  • Ability to work in a fast‑paced environment and adapt to changing priorities
  • Basic understanding of project planning, drawings, and site processes
  • A willingness to learn and grow within a supportive team
  • What We Offer

  • A tight‑knit and supportive team culture
  • Career development and mentoring from experienced industry leaders
  • Exposure to a wide range of civil, infrastructure, and trenchless projects
  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • Opportunities for training, advancement, and long‑term career growth
  • About UINZ

  • UINZ is a trusted Canterbury civil contractor delivering essential water, drainage, trenchless, and infrastructure projects across the region. We’re focused on quality, innovation, and building long‑term relationships with our clients and communities.
