He angitūtanga: The opportunity
Auckland Council has a portfolio of about 180 closed landfills with a majority now repurposed into parks and reserves. The sites have a range of risk profiles from large municipal landfills through to informal construction waste and soil-fill sites.

We are looking for a senior project manager to help manage projects on these closed landfills to enable us to continue safeguarding our communities and building resilient associated infrastructure and assets.

• negotiate with contractors/suppliers to resolve site related issues
• liaise with internal and external stakeholders to communicate updates and progress on the delivery of projects
• work with mana whenua partners to integrate Te ao Māori principles into closed landfill projects

The capital works programme has a current budget of approximately $13 million per year and growing for works on our closed landfills. These projects are often complex and high-profile, with significant public and mana whenua interest, and technical challenges, including relating to climate change.

You’ll be embedded in a team of fellow engineers, project managers and other technical staff, and will work alongside subject matter experts in geotechnical, coastal engineering and contaminated land, who will provide you with the support you need to deliver the best outcomes for Aucklanders.
