Kōrero mō te tūranga | About the role

This is delivery-focused position where you’ll play a critical role in driving project success. You’ll step in quickly to provide momentum—coordinating and tracking multiple projects, managing timelines, and ensuring activities stay tightly aligned to project goals. You’ll maintain clear and organised documentation, support effective planning and reporting, and help keep the team moving in the right direction. As a key member of a supportive, high‑performing project environment, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to further grow your project delivery skills.

No day will look the same. You’ll be managing logistics (including travel bookings), general accounts, and secretariat support for governance and project steering groups. You’ll also play a big part in stakeholder engagement and public events across multiple projects.

If you’re proactive, detail-oriented, and love the buzz of a dynamic environment, this role offers a rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful contribution.

Previous experience in project delivery or construction-based roles would be an advantage.
