Senior Project Manager
Join the PM company with the largest footprint in Aotearoa. 13 offices and a talented team to work with. Perfect to learn, grow and upskill.
Our team in Tāmaki Makaurau have strong personal and project connections in the community and a real depth of experience across regional projects including education, health, housing, defence and commercial to name a few. If you’re looking for a change this year, we can offer an exciting pipeline of projects to keep you busy in 2025 and beyond!
Due to growth across a number of key clients we have opportunities available at both PM and SPM levels, and would like to hear from candidates with consulting experience in at least one, or a combination of the following sectors - education, commercial and/or fit-out. We’re also on the lookout for Senior PM’s with extensive Engineer’s Rep or Contract Administration experience to be part of some large and complex projects with a heavy CA focus.
Our vision is to be the best and most trusted project specialists in Aotearoa. Whether you’re a local looking for a fresh opportunity, or if you’re relocating to the region, we’d love to hear from you.
You Matter @ TBIG
You really do! We want you to enjoy your working day and the teams around you. We’ll put opportunities in your way, not roadblocks, and show we trust and support your instincts to lead projects.
You’ll get a competitive salary package but there’s more to a rewarding job than that. The big things include a longer-term chance at becoming one of our employee shareholders, our support of flexible working, and we will continue your professional journey with networking, industry memberships and training opportunities. We’ll help with some of the smaller things too – like a proper espresso coffee machine, lots of fun social events with your colleagues, and company health and well-being initiatives such as our Spring Challenge. Fancy learning basic Te Reo or upskilling around Te Tiriti o Waitangi? We give you access and time to grow personally as well as professionally.
The Role
As senior eyes and ears on our projects, you’ll be providing project leadership and direction, acting as a trusted advisor to your clients, and working closely with your team, empowering the next generation of PM talent.
We’re looking for proven experience on projects with complex stakeholder management requirements to be part of our team, leading through all stages of some significant projects.
Here’s what we need from you:
- Prove to us you’ve ‘got this’ as the safe pair of hands for owning project outcomes.
- You are a trusted advisor to your clients - they have your ear at all times.
- A willingness to lead by example, so the next generation of project managers learn from you.
- An understanding of the power of a good team culture and how to support that.
- A professional attitude that wins the respect of clients.
Your experience needs to include:
- 8+ years’ previous Project/construction management experience, some of which will have been in a Consultancy environment.
- Experience in all stages of large-scale build project delivery across a diverse portfolio, ideally including base build, commercial development and fitout projects.
- Strong leadership coordinating design and technical teams.
- 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 contracts acting as Engineer’s Representative or Contract Administrator.
- Strong understanding of relevant New Zealand building regulations and legislation and a strong focus on health and safety
- End to end ownership, the project’s not done until you’re satisfied and proud of your client’s feedback.
