We’re on the look-out for an experienced Project Controls Professional, proficient in planning/scheduling, to join our project controls team in Auckland. You’ll work alongside experienced practitioners on exciting projects, contribute across different sectors, and grow both your technical depth and consulting capability.</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">What success looks like:</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">We met with Blake Mitchell, Head of Project Controls at Frequency, to understand what success looks like to him: “Infrastructure projects are constantly facing change—so in my eyes the ultimate mark of success is a well‑informed client: we raise alarm bells early to signal smoke, before there is fire, and we guide our client with clear and robust information to navigate the challenges. Yes, the schedules need to be structurally sound with clean logic, but more importantly success in this role is about building relationships with the project team to truly understand how the project works and what is really going on. This role will be challenging, but also very rewarding—it offers a great opportunity for the right person with the right attitude to expand professionally through variety and exposure.”</span><br></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">What the projects look like:</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">You’ll work within the project teams of a variety of NZ’s most exciting major projects—airports, motorways, wind farms, hospitals, water networks, banking, etc. There’s also variety in the type of work—you might be really detailed on one commission, and then working at portfolio level on the next.</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">What you’ll focus on:</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Build relationships and integrate into project teams</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Coordinate across organisations to integrate different sources of information and manage interfaces</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Communicate in different styles to suit different audiences—from site staff to the Project Director to the executive management team, and everyone in between</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Build, maintain, and document project schedules—often working with incomplete information—for both early-phase and construction-phase projects</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Monitor actual progress and track against plan, highlighting risks and issues</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Produce reporting that visually tells the story, lands with the audience, identifies issues, and recommends mitigation actions</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Review schedules provided by others—tender schedules, monthly submissions, rebaselines, extension-of-time claims—and provide your expert analysis</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Undertake Quantitative Schedule Risk Analysis (QSRA)</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">What sets you up for success:</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">5+ years’ experience as a planner/scheduler on engineering/construction projects</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Engineering background preferred</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Clear communicator who can build relationships with different types of people</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Proactivity, initiative, and ownership—someone who will chase missing information to deliver results</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Professional and collaborative—comfortable working independently and within integrated teams</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Structured, diligent, attentive to detail</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Essential software skills: strong Primavera P6 capability; intermediate MS Excel (e.g., pivot tables)</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Helpful software skills: MS Project; advanced MS Excel (e.g., Power Query); Power BI; 4D tools</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Active interest in your own development, both technical and professional (including growing your network)</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">How we work:</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">We’re office‑first because in‑person collaboration strengthens relationships, expedites solutions, and speeds up learning.
