This is an opportunity for an experienced Australian construction professional to bring your expertise to a major international project, experience living and working in New Zealand, and help deliver a project that will contribute to the country's renewable energy future.

Based north of Auckland, you will be the key construction leader on site, overseeing civil, mechanical and electrical works and coordinating subcontractors, site teams and project interfaces. Working closely with the Senior Project Manager and wider engineering, commercial, procurement, HSE and project controls teams, you will ensure construction progresses safely, efficiently and to programme.

• A Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering or a related discipline is preferred; however, relevant trade qualifications combined with strong supporting construction management experience will be considered.
• Strong leadership, communication and stakeholder management capability.
• Fluent English and the ability to communicate effectively across a diverse project environment.
