Big Market. Big Opportunity. Make Your Mark.

Eyeing new challenges and ready to lead with impact? TBIG is looking for a connected, driven leader to grow our South Island business.

What’s on offer

• Leadership role with autonomy and influence, backed by national support

• Competitive remuneration + future employee shareholding opportunities

• Strong national brand – grow our Canterbury and wider southern presence

This is a senior position leading our South Island business, comprising our Christchurch, Dunedin, Queenstown, and Invercargill offices, as well as projects across the top of the south.

Canterbury’s population is growing, and domestic relocation to the region is on the rise. With market conditions improving, this is a prime opportunity for someone with ambition to take our Christchurch team and broader South Island operations to new heights.

We’ve recently strengthened our senior leadership team by promoting four outstanding leaders from within TBIG into newly created Business Manager roles. This group brings deep knowledge of our business and culture, forming a strong and cohesive national management team. As the fifth member, you’ll complete this lineup, joining at a pivotal moment as we embark on the next phase of our strategic journey.

TBIG has been a strong player in the Canterbury market for over a decade, delivering award-winning projects that have made a real difference to communities in education, tertiary, and rebuild projects. This is your chance to lead locally with the backing of a respected national business, shaping our future in the region and its built form.

Whether you're ready to expand your remit beyond Canterbury, or seeking a business that offers greater autonomy and influence, we’d love to talk.

About the role

Our vision is to be the best and most trusted project specialists in Aotearoa.

As Business Manager, you’ll lead growth across the South Island, building market engagement, partnerships, and commercial performance. While your team delivers projects, you’ll operate at a strategic level, supported by strong local leaders in each office.

You’ll shape culture, performance, and reputation across the region, with the autonomy to lead and the backing of a strong national brand.

We’re looking for someone well-connected in Canterbury, ready to grow relationships, win new work, and represent TBIG with confidence and vision.

Based in Christchurch, with regular travel across the South Island.

About you

You’ll be looking for your next big move, having carved out a solid career so far, including time in leadership. You’ll bring experience from construction, engineering, property, project management or a related discipline, and preferably a relevant tertiary qualification.

Strong Canterbury networks will be key to your success in this role, along with market connections across the wider South Island.

You know how to engage the local market, create opportunities, and secure new work. You bring commercial acumen, strategic thinking, and sound financial management. And, you know how to inspire and grow high-performing teams.

Why TBIG?

As a senior leader at TBIG, you’ll be supported with a competitive package, an employee shareholding pathway, the tools to grow and support from directors who want to see you succeed. You’ll have access to training, industry memberships, and ongoing leadership development, alongside flexible working and extended leave as to support wellbeing. We welcome bold ideas.

You’ll also champion YouMatter@TBIG, our promise to staff and a key part of why people to choose to work here.
