Seeking an experienced Programme/Project Manager wanting to make a positive impact at a local level on Auckland’s future.
If you’ve already got three to five years project management and contract management experience and have had a few years programme management experience, (or can demonstrate solid exposure and understanding of programme management), this could be the role you’re looking for.
In this role, you will work in conjunction with your manager to create a programme of project delivery aligning to both the annual plan and the long-term council plan for local and sports parks, regional and specialist parks and recreation facilities in the western region You will be responsible for planning and execution of the programme of planned capital works (approx 10 million capex annually), as well as delivery of minor planned renewal and upgrade works. You will project manage your own portfolio of projects, (likely this will absorb around 60% of your time), whilst leading a small team made up of project managers.You will monitor and report on a regular basis on project status updates of the team and financial tracking.
Often this team will step in once the general scope and consultation on a project is done on planned capital and renewal works in the western region. The team focus will be project delivery and managing multiple projects at a time, including developing the detailed design, managing the consents and tender processes, awarding the contracts and then overseeing the delivery of works to project close-out. Projects can include the likes of artificial and sand sports fields, footbridges, playground upgrades and new lighting improvements, just to name a few.
Ideally, your project management experience will include parks environment experience, as this will hold you in good stead when it comes to understanding the issues and impacts of projects on the local communities’ usage of their local parks. Staff management experience is preferred too. Naturally, you will already have strong relationship building and negotiation skills.Experience with MS Project and confidence with MS Excel to an intermediate level is necessary, as is a full, clean, driver’s licence.
Bring your experience along – join our Asset Development and Business Support West unit in the Parks, Sports and Recreation Department and help deliver tangible high quality sustainable environments and community outcomes to the western region of Auckland.
This role is based in Henderson.
