The projects are bigger than ever and the lifestyle is exactly what you’ve been looking for.
If you’ve built your career delivering major infrastructure projects and are wondering what’s next, perhaps it’s time to look beyond the next project—and towards a better way of life. New Zealand is investing heavily into its infrastructure, creating exceptional opportunities for experienced leaders to deliver nationally significant projects while enjoying one of the world’s best places to live.
I’m working with several of New Zealand’s leading civil contractors who are seeking experienced Senior Project Managers, Construction Managers and Contract Managers to lead major projects across the country. These are career-defining opportunities delivering complex infrastructure including:
- Major highways and transport infrastructure
- Water and wastewater projects
- Renewable energy and power infrastructure
- Bridges and major structures
- Large-scale earthworks and civil engineering works
Projects are typically valued well in excess of NZ$100 million, offering the scale, complexity and challenge experienced civil leaders are looking for. I’m interested in speaking with proven professionals who have successfully delivered major civil infrastructure projects. Your experience may come from a range of sectors including, roads and highways, water infrastructure, energy, bridges and structures, heavy civil engineering, earthworks or marine. You will have a demonstrated track record of:
- Delivering major infrastructure projects safely, on programme and within budget
- Leading large multidisciplinary delivery teams
- Managing both self-performed works and subcontractor delivery
- Building strong relationships with clients, consultants and key stakeholders
- Successfully managing the commercial and operational aspects of complex projects
This is about more than just another job; it’s about finishing work and being on the beach, the ski slopes, a mountain bike trail or out on the water within hours. It’s about raising a family somewhere your children have room to explore, excellent schools, short commutes and a genuine work-life balance. It’s about working on world-class projects without sacrificing the lifestyle you’ve worked so hard to achieve.
Whether you’re drawn to vibrant cities, coastal communities or spectacular alpine regions, New Zealand offers an unrivalled quality of life. Those making the move can expect a permanent position boasting excellent salaries and packages including immigration and relocation assistance.
If you’re currently based in the UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada, South Africa or elsewhere and have significant experience delivering major civil infrastructure projects, we’d love to have a confidential conversation. Moving overseas is a big decision—but with expert relocation support, immigration assistance and outstanding career opportunities, there has never been a better time to make New Zealand home.
