Lead meaningful projects that shape communities across New Zealand.

A respected construction consultancy is seeking an experienced Project Manager to join its Wellington team. This role offers the opportunity to work on a diverse portfolio of projects across the health, education, commercial, civic, and infrastructure sectors , delivering value and clarity at every stage of the project life cycle.

You’ll play a pivotal role in planning, coordinating, and driving the successful delivery of projects — from early feasibility through to completion. Working closely with clients, contractors, consultants, and stakeholders, you’ll ensure projects are well‑organised, commercially sound, and delivered to the highest standard.

About the Role

You’ll be responsible for managing scope, programme, budget, and risk, while maintaining clear communication across multi‑disciplinary teams. Your approach will balance strategic oversight with hands‑on delivery — helping clients make confident, informed decisions that lead to successful outcomes.

Key responsibilities include :

  • Leading projects from planning and procurement through to delivery and handover
  • Coordinating consultants, contractors, and stakeholders to ensure alignment
  • Monitoring cost, programme, quality, and risk performance
  • Preparing project documentation, reports, and governance updates
  • Building trusted relationships with clients and delivery partners

About You

You’ll bring strong leadership, commercial acumen, and a practical understanding of how construction projects get built. Calm under pressure and confident in your communication, you’re someone who values precision, structure, and accountability.

You will have :

  • A degree in construction management, engineering, or a related discipline
  • 5-10 years' project management experience (client-side or contractor background)
  • Proven ability to manage medium to large‑scale projects in New Zealand
  • Knowledge of NZS 3910 and other standard forms of contract
  • Strong stakeholder and team management skills
  • A proactive, collaborative approach to problem‑solving
  • Why Join

    You’ll become part of a professional team that values integrity, clarity, and collaboration — with the autonomy to make a genuine impact on the success of each project. The role offers :

  • Exposure to high‑profile, community‑focused projects
  • A supportive environment that encourages professional growth
  • Competitive remuneration aligned with experience and contribution
  • If you’re ready to take the next step in your project management career and want to work with a team that delivers excellence through precision and partnership, we’d love to hear from you.

    Apply now with your CV and get a new role for 2026.

    To be considered, you MUST have the right to work in New Zealand and at least 2 years New Zealand experience.
