Our Queenstown and Invercargill teams have strong personal and project connections in the community, and a depth of experience across a range of local projects including education, commercial and infrastructure to name a few.  We continue to deliver on a wide range of significant projects, and we’re looking for a high performing Project Manager to join us.  The role is based in our Queenstown office and will also require regular travel across the Otago & Southland regions for project work. This will include remote working from our Invercargill office.

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.

You might be a local looking for a change, or perhaps the outdoor lifestyle is calling and you’re considering relocation?  Queenstown offers a vibrant community and adventure on your back doorstep, whilst Invercargill is growing and modernising, and with a fresh new town centre and lots of development happening - it's an excellent time to be part of the action and get the best of both worlds!

As a PM, you’ll get your hands on a great range of project opportunities and the chance to work with multiple teams. Our local projects are varied and interesting and 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 a great salary package but there’s more to a rewarding job than that. This is a rare opportunity for a professional services job in the Southern region.  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 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 Southern region offers such great opportunities to work and play, and we encourage our team to have a balance of both.

• Keep a firm grip on cost control alongside the project quantity surveyor – you’ll be right on top of financial reporting, estimates, cash flow and invoicing on a project.

• Manage project deliverables and reporting back to client.

• You’ll lead and chair meetings, minuting actions so nothing gets left undone

• Great communication skills and the desire to represent our brand professionally, as part of a small regional team.

• Strong administrative skills that lend themselves to an organised and efficient project manager. 

Your experience needs to include:

• Minimum three years' post grad consultancy experience, construction PM or similar.

• Relevant qualifications such as Building Science, Architecture, Construction PM, Engineering or Property.
