• Mount Maunganui location
• Competitive Hourly Rate
• 12 month contract

We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager & Process Engineer who knows their way around capital project delivery in a manufacturing or production environment.

Ideally you will have an Engineering qualification, and have had some experience within a chemical manufacturing or storage environment, or similar industry.

This is not your average PM gig! You’ll be at the helm of high-value, high-impact projects, where your ability to quote accurately, engage stakeholders, and push through roadblocks will make or break success. If you live for driving results and hate hearing “that can’t be done”, then we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll be doing:

• Owning and delivering capital projects from concept through to completion
• High-level quoting and accurate scoping (no cost blowouts on your watch)
• Driving outcomes, timelines, and urgency with a “get-it-done” mindset
• Engaging and managing contractors (this is not a maintenance role!)
• Communicating clearly and consistently with internal and external stakeholders
• Keeping the wheels turning — even when the going gets tough

What you’ll bring:

• Solid project delivery experience in capital projects
• Background in chemical or liquid processing or storage, or a similar industry such as pulp or paper (ideal but not essential)
• Sharp quoting skills — you know what things reallycost
• Top-tier communication and stakeholder management skills
• Contractor engagement experience (not just vendors — real on-site delivery)
• A relentless drive for deadlines, outcomes, and excellence
• The ability to take control of a project and make things happen

What’s on offer:

• 12-month contract with potential to extend
• Diverse range of capital projects — no two weeks the same
• Competitive hourly rate
• Monday to Friday work (some flexibility required)
• Based in Mount Maunganui, in the Bay of Plenty region
