Shape major projects without the red tape.
This is your chance to step into a senior leadership role delivering some of the South Island's most exciting projects - from luxury hotels and wineries to large-scale healthcare, retail and airport developments.
You'll join a respected project management consultancy that's growing fast in Christchurch. The team is collaborative, humble and ambitious — no egos, no politics, just smart people who back each other and get the job done.
As a Senior Project Manager, you'll:
* Lead complex, multi-stage developments from feasibility, to concept through delivery.
* Act as the bridge between the Directors and the PM team providing guidance, structure, and stability as the business scales.
* Work directly with clients across commercial, healthcare and tourism sectors.
* Take ownership; you'll be trusted, empowered and supported, not micromanaged.
The business throws people in the deep end (in a good way). You'll get exposure to major projects, real decision-making responsibility, and a steep professional growth curve.
What you'll need
* 7-12 years' construction industry experience, with at least 2 years of client-side or consultancy project management.
* Proven ability to deliver end-to-end projects — not just assist on them
* Strong stakeholder management and leadership skills
* A genuine, down-to-earth attitude — you take your work seriously, but not yourself.
What's on offer
* Salary $130K-$180K + benefits (based on experience)
* Projects you'll actually be proud to put your name to
* A culture where laughter and hard work sit side by side
* Genuine progression as the business continues to grow
If you're looking for a role where you can make an impact, lead from the front, and still enjoy coming to work every day — this one's worth a look.
