This is a strategically targeted growth appointment for a motivated and career-driven mid-level professional, which will consist of project delivery for 6 months then a transition into the contract / regional manager of the main operational region.
You will initially deliver projects and embed into the operations, learning the company way of working, building internal relationships, and demonstrating leadership capability. From there, you will be expected to step into a strategic leadership role with a heavy focus on people, growth and operational excellence.
We are seeking a high-calibre, mid-career civil infrastructure professional with the motivation, credibility, and capability to grow into a Contracts or Regional Manager role within 6-18months. The ideal candidate is someone with strong delivery experience, commercial acumen, and emerging leadership capability, who is looking for a step-change in career scope and responsibility.
This role is base in a region of the North Island that is poised to experience significant growth in the next 10years+. If you like a coastal lifestyle with easy access to fishing, beaches, surfing and diving then you'll love living here.
Candidate backgrounds may include:
· Regional/Branch Managers of small-to-medium civils contractors ready for broader impact
· Senior managers looking for a chance to build a Greenfields business in construction
· Senior Project Managers from Tier 1 firms seeking a faster pathway to senior leadership

· Sound commercial understanding (budgeting, forecasting, claims, contract management)
· Demonstrated ability to lead teams and mentor junior staff
· Exceptional relationship and stakeholder management skills
· Solid people management skills, setting expectations and holding people accountable.
This is not a static or lifestyle PM role. It’s a launch pad into regional leadership with direct exposure to senior decision-making and business growth planning. This is a dynamic company that moves fast, gives people real responsibility, and rewards performance. The right person will build something special – a team, a region, and their legacy.
Highly attractive salary package plus full-use vehicle, likely PHEV, bonus options, and relocation costs if moving from elsewhere in the country.
