- Exciting regeneration programme
- Lead major infrastructure projects and support portfolio delivery
- Based in Glen Innes
SWR Group is partnering with Tāmaki Regeneration Company (TRC) to appoint a Senior Project Manager – Infrastructure at an exciting stage in its delivery programme. With growing activity across the programme, this is an opportunity to take a significant role in projects that will shape Glen Innes, Point England and Panmure for generations.
The opportunity TRC’s long-term regeneration programme aims to enable 10,500 homes, alongside improvements to streets, parks, transport connections and community spaces. Infrastructure is central to that ambition, and TRC needs a senior professional who can maintain delivery momentum while managing the complexity of working across established neighbourhoods and multiple partners.
Reporting to the Infrastructure Delivery Function Lead within Development and Infrastructure, you will lead selected complex civil and land development projects, support delivery across the wider portfolio and guide project management resources. You will also deputise for the Function Lead when required, combining hands-on delivery with people leadership and governance-level influence.
About the role
- Lead key infrastructure projects from feasibility, design and consenting through procurement, construction and handover.
- Manage budgets, forecasts, programme milestones, commercial performance, risk, quality and health and safety.
- Align infrastructure delivery with housing programmes and resolve dependencies across projects and delivery partners.
- Coach and support project managers, strengthening accountability, capability and consistent delivery practices.
- Build trusted relationships with mana whenua, Kāinga Ora, Council, CCOs, consultants, contractors and community stakeholders.
- Present clear advice to project and programme governance groups, helping leaders make informed decisions.
About you You bring a strong record of delivering complex civil infrastructure or land development projects, backed by a relevant tertiary qualification and at least ten years’ relevant experience. Your background will include substantial projects and personal responsibility across the project lifecycle.
You understand Auckland’s consenting, titling and land development requirements and can navigate complex procurement, contracting and stakeholder arrangements. Strong financial judgement, clear reporting and the ability to lead others are essential. You are equally comfortable contributing to a governance discussion and stepping into a project to resolve a delivery issue.
Adaptable, practical and collaborative, you anticipate problems, bring people together and keep work moving. You will demonstrate a commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and an understanding of tikanga Māori. Project management certification, programming tool experience and knowledge of Tāmaki would be advantageous.
Why join TRC This is a chance to join a programme gaining traction and contribute where the impact is tangible: new homes enabled, neighbourhoods connected and infrastructure built for the future. You will work alongside people committed to Tāmaki’s communities, with meaningful project responsibility and opportunities to develop your leadership capability.
