Help shape Wellington's future in our Transport & Infrastructure team! Wellington has large scale ambitions for what the capital city will look and feel like for future generations - an inclusive city for all, that celebrates its creative spirit and is environmentally and economically sustainable. The next few years will see Wellington transition to this state as we invest into the core infrastructure of the city. Whether it be property development and building safe affordable housing, investing into our three waters infrastructure or changing the look, feel and operation of our city streets - infrastructure will be the beating heart of what drives Wellington's transition into the future.
Do you want to be at the forefront of this change? Does leaving a legacy for future generations of Wellingtonians sound like something that could get behind? Then why not consider our Contracts Delivery Manager role - you'll be joining a leadership team working alongside a diverse group who make coming to work a great experience.
Meet the Team:
Sean - a dedicated local (and aspiring pilot) who is enabling infrastructure across the city to be developed while ensuring that the city still functions and operates.
Leti - a passionate engineer from California that is leading the delivery of large scale projects that will redefine how our city's streets work.
Soon Teck - a chartered civil engineer who has dedicated himself to improving safety across the city for the past 40 years.
Sarah - a vibrant and talented young chartered accountant that is ensuring that we deliver value for money in all our endeavours.
Brian - an ex-mechanic that is now managing the maintenance and renewals of our city's key transport infrastructure.
Mel - driving changes in the way we procure and contract out our services to ensure best social outcomes for our communities.
Anna - originally from Israel and skilled in krav maga (just kidding - but she does keep us all on point).
Brad - really, really good looking (he made us say that) - originally from deepest Africa, all he does now is pay the bills and approve our leave.
We currently have a diverse team of around 80 staff originating from over 15 different countries, each contributing a variety of skills, life experiences and passions which we feel is a true reflection of our capital city.
The Role:
The Contracts Delivery Manager exists to ensure our procurement activities are aligned with the direction provided by our Commercial Partnerships Team and Waka Kotahi.

You'll be someone with excellent communication skills, a great relationship builder, a deep understanding of broader outcomes (and how to achieve them) as well as experience in procurement and contract management. We're also looking for someone who has good working relationships with mana whenua and organisations such as Amotai.
The salary range for this role is $137,539 to $161,810.

More than that - you'll be playing a part in making Poneke an inclusive, sustainable and creative capital for people to live, work and play.
So if joining a team that is focused on delivering the best outcomes for the city now and into the future (while also having a ton of fun doing it) seems like something that you want to be part of, apply today!
