We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Builder / Construction Manager to lead the on-site delivery of multi-unit residential developments in Tauranga.

To be successful in this role, you’ll need:
  • 15+ years building experience
  • Proven delivery of multi-unit residential projects
  • Strong leadership experience managing multiple trades
