• Previous project management, project coordination, or customer-facing technical experience.
• The ability to confidently read and interpret architectural plans and technical drawings.
• A sound understanding of New Zealand construction methods and building practices.
• Excellent communication and customer service skills.
• Strong problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.
• A practical, proactive, and highly organised approach.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders simultaneously.
• A strong commitment to workplace health and safety.
