Job Description
Shape the future. Live the lifestyle. Join our team in Ōtautahi (Christchurch), where strong community connections and long-standing partnerships underpin the work we do. In this role, you’ll play a pivotal part in delivering sustainable Three Waters infrastructure that has a lasting impact on the Canterbury region. Beyond the work, Christchurch has great lifestyle appeal, with easy access to beaches, mountains and parks. Known for its innovation, rebuild story and growing arts and food scene, it’s a place where career and lifestyle go hand in hand. Not Christchurch based? No problem – we’re happy to support relocation for the right person. You Matter @ TBIG We really mean it – we want you to enjoy your work and the people around you. Our focus is on creating opportunities, not barriers, and giving you the autonomy to lead projects, back your judgement and collaborate with confidence. The Role You’ll be involved across the full project lifecycle – from early feasibility through to delivery and handover. While you’ll bring strong project leadership and strategic oversight, you’ll also be comfortable staying close to the detail and pitching in with the day-to-day – whether that’s issuing CI’s, leading meetings or keeping clients well informed through clear reporting. We’re looking for someone with proven experience delivering projects in complex stakeholder environments, who can confidently lead through all stages of delivery on significant, high-impact work. Your experience needs to include Around 8+ years’ post grad experience in civil engineering, project delivery, or construction management, including some time spent performing in the role of consultant or client-side Project Manager. We need you to understand infrastructure projects, but more importantly we need you to be an experienced PM delivering these projects as our client’s representative. Relevant qualifications in a STEM discipline such as Civil Engineering, or Construction PM. A current driver’s license and willingness to travel to project sites locally and in the wider region. You’ll bring a range of project experience with you, which will include civil infrastructure project delivery through all stages, in particular, delivery of 3 Waters assets. Additional experience in delivering building projects is a bonus. Strong leadership coordinating design and technical teams including management of multiple project stakeholders and management of the project consenting process. The proven ability to challenge concepts, resolve problems and provide solutions. Detailed knowledge and the preparation of robust contract documents, correspondence and reporting. Demonstrable experience with NZS3910/NZS3916 contracts acting as Engineer’s Representative. Strong understanding of relevant New Zealand building regulations and legislation, and a strong focus on health and safety. Benefits: You’ll receive a great salary package, and there’s the opportunity to become one of our employee shareholders. Flexible working arrangements support balance in your day-to-day. We’re also committed to your ongoing growth, with access to networking, industry memberships and professional development. On top of that, we make time for the extras that matter – regular social events, wellbeing initiatives like our Spring Challenge, and opportunities to grow personally as well as professionally. #J-18808-Ljbffr
