Asset Manager - Mobile Tower Infrastructure

Are you an experienced infrastructure asset management professional who thrives in an operational, fast-moving environment? Do you enjoy bringing people together, solving practical problems and keeping critical infrastructure performing when it matters most?

Connexa is New Zealand’s leading mobile tower infrastructure company. We design, build and manage mobile sites across Aotearoa for telecommunications providers, helping keep communities connected now and into the future. With the country’s largest tower portfolio and a significant growth programme ahead, this is an opportunity to make a real impact in a developing segment of New Zealand’s telecommunications industry.

We’re looking for an Asset Manager to take ownership of day-to-day operational asset management across our passive infrastructure portfolio. This role is the operational face of Asset Management, working closely with customers, landowners, suppliers, service companies, field teams and internal stakeholders to protect asset availability, service performance and resilience.

About the role

As an Asset Manager, you’ll oversee maintenance delivery, coordinate lifecycle and remediation works, manage operational escalations and support incident and crisis response. You’ll play a key role in ensuring issues are resolved quickly, stakeholders are kept informed, and our assets continue to support reliable mobile connectivity across New Zealand.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Managing day-to-day asset operations and resolving portfolio issues
• Coordinating preventative and reactive maintenance activities
• Project managing repair, remediation and lifecycle works
• Managing customer, landowner, supplier and service company relationships
• Leading out operational response during incidents, outages and severe weather events, working with the Network Operations Centre, customers, Telecommunications Forum (TCF) and field teams to coordinate mobile infrastructure restoration activity.
• Monitoring & driving asset performance, identifying risks, managing costs and delivery progress
• Supporting continuous improvement across operational asset management practices

You’ll be practical, calm under pressure and comfortable working across a geographically dispersed infrastructure portfolio. It is essential to have strong relationship management skills, sound commercial judgement and the ability to drive outcomes through suppliers, contractors and internal teams.

You will have:

• Experience managing infrastructure assets across a large or distributed portfolio
• Strong stakeholder, customer and supplier management capability
• Experience coordinating maintenance, repairs, lifecycle works or operational programmes
• Sound commercial and financial acumen, including cost tracking and budget support
• Strong project management and issue resolution skills
• Experience in mission-critical infrastructure, telecommunications, utilities or a similar operational environment
• The ability to communicate clearly during incidents, escalations and high-pressure situations
• A proactive, accountable and continuous improvement mindset
• Willingness to participate in an on-call roster and provide after-hours operational support when required

Mobile telecommunications infrastructure experience would be advantageous, but it’s not essential. What matters most is your ability to take ownership, build trusted relationships and keep critical infrastructure operating safely and effectively.

Why join Connexa?

At Connexa, you’ll be part of a small, capable and collaborative team helping shape the future of mobile connectivity in New Zealand. You’ll have the opportunity to work across a nationally significant infrastructure portfolio, contribute to a major growth programme and make your mark in a business that is enabling a more connected digital future for Aotearoa.

If you’re ready for a role where no two days are the same, and where your work directly supports connectivity for communities across New Zealand, we’d love to hear from you.
