• Ensure compliance with internal policies and public sector standards
• Monitor supplier performance and maintain strong contractor relationships
• Drive cost-efficiency, innovation, and sustainability through smart procurement

About You
You'll be someone who thrives in fast-paced, complex environments and understands the nuances of public-sector and capital project procurement.
 
You'll bring:

• 5+ years' experience in procurement, preferably in construction, infrastructure, or public-sector environments
• Proven track record of managing large-scale tenders and contracts
• Strong commercial acumen and negotiation skills
• Knowledge of NZ procurement rules and construction contract frameworks (e.g. NZS3910, NEC)
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
• A relevant tertiary qualification (Procurement, Engineering, Law, or Business preferred)

What's on Offer

• Work on nationally significant construction projects
• Join a collaborative, purpose-driven procurement team
• Competitive salary + benefits + professional development
• A chance to make your mark on infrastructure that impacts millions of people annually
