Job description

Mō te tūranga | About the role

We're looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead delivery on Fulton Hogan's first-ever wind farm project in Amberley.

This is a rare chance to help get a major renewable energy project out of the ground and set it up for success from the start. You'll join ahead of main site works, helping shape the plan, coordinate the moving parts, and lead delivery as construction ramps up.

It's a hands-on role with real responsibility. You'll be leading a project with complexity across heavy civil works, logistics, multiple work fronts, and subcontractor coordination. We need someone who can keep the big picture in view while staying close enough to the detail to make smart calls when plans shift.

Wind farm experience would be great, but it's not essential. We're more interested in a well-rounded Project Manager with strong heavy civil delivery experience, particularly around structures, logistics, and large-scale infrastructure-style projects. If you're ready to bring your experience into something new and do Good Work on a project that matters, this could be the role for you.

We're progressive, performance-driven, and adventurous by design, and this project is a great example of that. If you want meaningful work, real responsibility, and the chance to help shape something new, you'll fit right in.
