Job description
About the company
Our client is a well-established Wellington-based construction consultancy, offering project management, cost management, and strategic property advice under one roof. They run a genuinely varied national project book, with a particular strength in the education sector, working alongside schools, consultants, contractors and government agencies on everything from targeted upgrades through to major redevelopments.
It's a business with a steady pipeline and a reputation for practical, well-run delivery rather than box-ticking process. For a Project Manager who wants variety and real ownership, this is a team doing consistently important work.
The team have grown significantly in the last few years and they are just getting started, with big plans for the future. Join them now with the right attitude and drive, and you won't just fill a role, you'll help shape where they go next. For the right person, that means real potential for growth, and even equity for star performers.
Role summary
This Project Manager role sits within a Wellington-based consultancy delivering a broad mix of construction projects nationally, with a strong education sector focus. You'll manage projects from scoping through to completion, working closely with in-house design and QS teams, and will take ownership across scope, budget, programme and quality on every job.
