  • Work closely with clinical teams to ensure timely commencement of works
  • Support project managers with administrative and coordination tasks
  • Ensure smooth, timely communication between services and contractors
  • Triage and escalate issues affecting operational continuity
  • Provide general administration support as required

 What We’re Looking For:

  • A qualification in healthcare and/or construction
  • Experience working on building sites in NZ, ideally in a supervisory or coordination role
  • Solid knowledge of capital project management, including critical path analysis
  • Advanced MS Office skills and ability to quickly learn new systems
  • Exposure to complex project environments within a live healthcare setting
  • Understanding of risk management and mitigation strategies
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to prioritise, multitask and meet tight deadlines
  • A collaborative, proactive approach to resolving challenges

 Why Apply?

  • Be part of a high-impact capital project in the health sector
  • Work in a dynamic, purpose-driven environment
  • Contribute to the delivery of essential infrastructure that supports patient care
  • Enjoy a challenging and rewarding role where no two days are the same

 If you’re a strong communicator with experience bridging the gap between construction and clinical services—and thrive in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment—apply now to be part of a meaningful and complex Capital Works project.
