Downer has been designing, building and sustaining New Zealand's infrastructure for over a century and is a leading provider of integrated services in Australia and New Zealand.

With over 10,000 employees in New Zealand, we work alongside some of New Zealand's biggest businesses, councils and government agencies.

The Tararua Alliance is a unique partnership between Tararua District Council and Downer NZ, established to manage the Tararua district's transportation and 3-waters reticulation infrastructure in a collaborative, single-team approach. Our vision is 'Leading through Collaboration' and we are striving to deliver best in class services for Tararua communities.

Some outstanding results have been achieved since the Tararua Alliance was established in 2014, and we're seeking to shift up another gear as we respond to continued growth and external changes. Both parent organisations have committed to continuing the partnership until at least 2029, and have set new objectives for the team to focus on.

We have recently reviewed and revised our structure, to best enable us to achieve the new objectives. This has created some outstanding opportunities for new people with fresh thinking.

To be successful in the role, you will bring with you:

• Leadership experience in the contracting industry
