Project Manager - Electrical

Join a team delivering critical infrastructure projects across the South Island.

 

Ventia is seeking an experienced Project Manager to support the delivery of industrial and electrical distribution projects, with opportunities to also work on renewable energy initiatives, including solar farm developments.

With a strong pipeline of secured work and trusted client relationships, this is an exciting opportunity to join a growing business delivering projects that support New Zealand's energy future.

 

About the Role

As a Project Manager, you'll be responsible for the successful delivery of a diverse portfolio of projects. Depending on the size and complexity of the work, you may be managing anywhere from one large-scale project through to five or six smaller projects concurrently.

 

The majority of your work will be focused on industrial and distribution infrastructure, with the opportunity to contribute to renewable energy projects as they arise.

 

About You

We're looking for a motivated and solutions-focused professional who enjoys working in a dynamic project environment.

 

You may bring:

• Experience delivering projects within industrial, electrical, utilities, distribution, or infrastructure environments.
• Renewable energy or solar farm project experience, which would be highly regarded.
• A strong site-based background, having progressed from the tools into a supervisory or leadership role is an advantage
• Proven ability to coordinate teams, manage stakeholders, and deliver projects safely and efficiently.
• A formal Project Management qualification is advantageous, but we are equally interested in candidates who have built strong project delivery experience through hands-on operational and supervisory roles.

 

Why Join Ventia?

• Strong and growing pipeline of work.
• Opportunity to work on critical infrastructure and renewable energy projects.
• Exposure to a variety of project sizes and scopes.
• Career development opportunities within a supportive and expanding team.
• Work alongside reputable clients and industry-leading professionals.
• Be part of a trusted contractor with long-standing client relationships.
