Relocating isn't always straightforward, particularly when it comes to finding somewhere to live. A relocation package is available to assist with the move, and the company will also help with sourcing accommodation. It’s an opportunity to join an established team with good projects ahead, while making the move to a part of the country that offers a pretty great lifestyle outside of work too. Not looking to make the move to Queenstown? I’m also recruiting for a Project Manager with a civil contractor based in Timaru. If Timaru is a better fit, get in touch and I can talk you through that opportunity instead. #J-18808-Ljbffr
