• Flexible role, part time or full-time hours available
• Keen on the regional lifestyle, but still want to work on projects of size and scale?
• Looking for a national business that will support you to do great things locally?

There’s lots happening across Whanganui-Manawatū, and our local team continues to deliver in this emerging market! At TBIG, we’re committed to the regions, providing strong connections and support across our network of offices. Our vision is to be the best and most trusted project specialists in Aotearoa.

We’re looking for a Project Manager to join us, working on an interesting portfolio of work across the wider Whanganui-Manawatū region. Based in Palmerston North, our local team have strong personal and project connections in the community and a depth of experience across regional projects including education, health, defence and government.

As a PM, you’ll get your hands on a great range of project opportunities and the chance to work with multiple teams. You’ll get to experience projects in different phases, managing everything from design to construction and getting a project to the finish line - that magic day when people walk into their new building or tamariki see their new school for the first time.

You Matter @ TBIG

You really do! We want you to enjoy your working day and the teams around you. We’ll support your career development through our MyPath programme, which provides a planned pathway to grow your experience, and supports your journey towards a more senior role.

You’ll get an excellent 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.

And, if you’re looking for more balance, we can support that – we’re able to offer either full-time or part-time hours, so you can enjoy a great professional role alongside your other commitments.

The Role

No two days are the same, and that’s what gets our PM’s excited. You’ll be encouraged to lead, and supported in that leadership as you make project decisions.

• You’ll build trust with all stakeholders and everyone in the project team.
• Procure the right consultants that are going to perform well on the project.
• Guide a project from go to whoa, from the initial project set up to final delivery, and everything else in between.
• Keep a firm grip on cost control – you’ll be right on top of financial reporting, estimates, cash flow and invoicing on a project.
• Manage the team’s deliverables and reporting back to client.
• You’ll lead and chair meetings, minuting actions so nothing gets left undone.

Here’s what we need from you:

• A professional and can-do attitude to helping support our clients and the TBIG project team.
• Create enthusiasm within the project environment. Getting buy-in and always building trust.
• A range of experience across different project types and phases, including exposure to design management and contract management
• An affinity for working collaboratively and collectively with project teams, working towards the same goals and reminding people of those goals when the project gets challenging.
• Great communication skills – you’re a good talker, but an even better listener.

Your experience needs to include:

• Minimum three years' post grad consultancy experience, construction PM or similar.
• Relevant qualifications such as Build Science, Construction PM, Engineering or Property.
