Project Manager

A growing, boutique consultancy is seeking a self-motivated Intermediate Project Manager to join their Auckland presence and lead civil and social infrastructure projects across the region.
The business is highly culture-driven and progressive, with a strong emphasis on collaboration, trust, flexibility and delivering quality outcomes. With senior leadership based in Waikato and Tauranga, you’ll be supported and mentored while operating with autonomy in Auckland.
With a strong confirmed pipeline and hiring aligned to growth, this is a genuine ground-floor opportunity to grow with the business long term and progress up the ranks as the company expands.
The Role You will take ownership of civil and social infrastructure projects from inception through to completion and handover.

You will be responsible for:

• End-to-end project delivery from design, procurement, construction and close-out
• Consultant and contractor coordination
• Stakeholder management across public and private sector environments
• Programme, cost and risk management
• Procurement strategy and tender management
• Contract administration and project reporting
• Full contract management under NZS3910, including variations, payment claims, EOTs and formal project administration

A strong working knowledge of NZS3910 is essential, along with the ability to confidently manage contractual processes and documentation throughout the project lifecycle.
While your focus will be civil and social infrastructure, the wider business also delivers residential and vertical sector projects, providing diversity of exposure over time.

About You:

• Degree qualified in Civil Engineering, Construction Management or similar
• 5+ years experience within a client-side consultancy environment or have been a Project Manager with a Civil Contractor in New Zealand
• Proven ability to run infrastructure projects end-to-end
• Confident in contract administration and formal project governance
• Commercially astute, organised and proactive with great communication skills
• Motivated by autonomy, responsibility and long-term progression

This role will suit an intermediate project manager who can operate independently. Someone that values mentorship, takes accountability and wants to contribute to a business that has huge growth potential.

Why Join?

• Flexible working with significant WFH autonomy
• Direct access to experienced senior leaders
• Strong pipeline and stable project flow
• Diverse project exposure across infrastructure and vertical sectors
• Clear long-term progression pathway in a growing consultancy
• Culture-driven, forward-thinking environment

If you are ready to step up, lead projects in Auckland and grow alongside a consultancy building real momentum, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
