PROJECT MANAGER | WELLINGTON
CRE8 Talent is working with our client, a well-established construction business based in Wellington, who is looking for an experienced Project Manager to join their team.
This is a role for someone who knows how to take ownership.
Someone who can walk onto a project, understand what needs to happen, get the right people around the table, keep things moving and, when something goes sideways, deal with it rather than pass the problem on.
You'll be responsible for overseeing projects from start to finish, from planning and tendering through to delivery, close-out and handover.
And while there's plenty of project management involved, this isn't a role where you sit behind a desk and watch the programme unfold.
You'll be involved. You'll lead. You'll make decisions.
What you'll be doing
You'll take responsibility for the successful delivery of your projects, working closely with the Construction Director, QS, site teams, clients, consultants, subcontractors and suppliers.
That includes:
What we're looking for
We're looking for someone with a proven track record in construction project management.
You'll need to be reliable, accountable and comfortable taking responsibility for the outcome, not just your individual piece of it.
You'll have a broad understanding of construction and be confident enough across the different disciplines to understand what good looks like and step in when required.
Just as importantly, you'll be someone who:
Because this is an opportunity to have real influence over projects and the people delivering them.
You'll be part of the Wellington construction team and work closely with senior leadership, while having the responsibility and autonomy to get on with the job.
If you're the sort of Project Manager who likes being close to the action, takes pride in delivering a good project and isn't afraid to make the call when one needs to be made, we'd like to hear from you.
If this sounds like the next move you're looking for, get in touch with Kat Evans CRE8 Talent for a confidential conversation.
