About the job

Mō te tūranga | About the role

We’re looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead delivery on Fulton Hogan’s first-ever wind farm project in Amberley.

This is a rare chance to help get a major renewable energy project out of the ground and set it up for success from the start. You’ll join ahead of main site works, helping shape the plan, coordinate the moving parts, and lead delivery as construction ramps up.

It’s a hands-on role with real responsibility. You’ll be leading a project with complexity across heavy civil works, logistics, multiple work fronts, and subcontractor coordination. We need someone who can keep the big picture in view while staying close enough to the detail to make smart calls when plans shift.

Wind farm experience would be great, but it’s not essential. We’re more interested in a well-rounded Project Manager with strong heavy civil delivery experience, particularly around structures, logistics, and large-scale infrastructure-style projects. If you’re ready to bring your experience into something new and do Good Work on a project that matters, this could be the role for you.

Ngā tino kawenga mahi | Key role responsibilities

  • Lead the end-to-end delivery of Fulton Hogan’s wind farm project in Amberley.
  • Plan and coordinate heavy civil, structural, logistics, and subcontractor activities across the project lifecycle.
  • Build strong relationships across site teams, subcontractors, and key stakeholders to keep delivery moving safely and efficiently.
  • Oversee programme, budget, forecasting, cost control, and risk management to support strong project outcomes.
  • Lead with a strong health, safety, and environmental focus, setting clear expectations and serious standards where it counts.

Kei te kimi mātou i tētahi e whai ana i ēnei pūkenga | We’re looking for someone with

  • Proven experience delivering large-scale heavy civil, infrastructure, or structures projects in a Project Manager role.
  • Strong capability in logistics management and coordinating multiple work fronts in dynamic site environments.
  • Solid experience across heavy civil structures or bridge-style works, rather than vertical builds.
  • Confident commercial and programme management skills, with a practical, delivery-focused approach.
  • Clear leadership, sound judgement, and the ability to mentor developing engineers and site team members.

He pai te mahi, he pai ngā painga | Good work, good benefits

At Fulton Hogan, we genuinely care about the wellbeing of our people and giving them the tools and opportunities they need to succeed and grow with us. You’ll have access to:

  • Medical insurance and Life insurance after the eligibility period.
  • KiwiSaver employer contributions after service milestones, up to 7%.
  • Parental leave top up payment with additional return to work support.
  • Ongoing training and development, with clear career growth and progression opportunities.
  • Great discounts at a wide range of retailers.

Ko wai mātou | About us

At Fulton Hogan, Good Work is more than what we deliver. It’s how we work, how we treat each other, and how we keep moving forward. We’re not big on hierarchy or big egos. We back good people, value good ideas, and work side by side to get the job done.

You’ll join a team that takes the work seriously, not ourselves. The vibe is down to earth and supportive, but when the stakes are high, we switch on. We’re progressive, performance-driven, and adventurous by design, and this project is a great example of that. If you want meaningful work, real responsibility, and the chance to help shape something new, you’ll fit right in.

Me pēhea te tono | How to apply

If you’re ready to lead a major renewable energy project, build momentum from day one, and do Good Work with a team that backs you, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now.
