Description

I'm looking for an experienced Electrical Project Manager to join a busy team delivering EV charging installations across Christchurch.

You'll be managing multiple projects at once, working with high-end clients and overseeing everything from planning through to delivery. Projects range from $50k–$500k, with 3–6 running at any one time.

What's in it for you?

  • $75–$90/hr + GST
  • Immediate start
  • Payment for every hour worked
  • Initial 4-month contract
  • Mainly office-based
  • Multiple projects with staggered start dates

The Role:
You'll be responsible for managing projects from the planning stage through to completion.

Most projects will have a few weeks of planning followed by 2–4 weeks of delivery. You'll have a Supervisor looking after the site teams, allowing you to focus on overall project delivery.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Managing 3–6 projects at a time
  • Working directly with clients and key stakeholders
  • Managing project financials, budgets and variations
  • Developing programmes and keeping projects on track
  • Coordinating Supervisors and delivery teams of 4–6 people
  • Managing H&S, quality and project reporting
  • Overseeing EV charger installations, including 300kW chargers and minor civil works such as trenching

What You'll Bring:

  • Strong electrical background 
  • Previous Electrical Project Management experience
  • Experience managing multiple projects at once
  • Strong commercial understanding and financial management
  • Confident dealing with clients, stakeholders and delivery teams
  • Good planning, programming and organisational skills
  • Professional approach with strong communication skills
  • Ability to hit the ground running

This is a good opportunity for an experienced Electrical PM who enjoys a fast-paced environment, can manage multiple jobs and is comfortable dealing with clients while keeping delivery teams on track.

Interested?
I'm the go-to guy for contracting roles in the construction market. If you'd like a confidential chat about this role or other opportunities, contact Ezra on 021 280 2016 or ezra@franklinsmithgroup.co.nz
