You’re good at what you do. And because of that you’ve got plenty of choices about who you work for and what you do. Rather than filling the next page with corporate platitudes and fluff, we’ll cut to the chase...
What's on offer?
We are looking for an experienced IT Project Manager to lead and support a number of different IT projects for a large government department. In this role, you will be working as part of a small project team (consisting of Business Analysis and Enterprise Architecture expertise) to lead project deliverables.
In this role, you can expect to apply core Project Management skills and responsibilities, including developing project delivery plans, managing RAID logs, and providing regular progress reporting. The types of projects you can expect to encounter include:
Who's the Client?
This role will see you working within a large government department based in Wellington CBD.
What you'll bring
So why do any of that with us? We’re good people who are well connected into great clients. We know what we’re doing, and we’ll back you 100% to get the role you’re after. We’ll get to know you, and what you like, so we can have your next role ready when you are.
We’ll pay you as much as we can and as your skills and experiences grow, we’ll go into bat for you and help you recognise that growing value too. And the best proof of that? Most of our contractor team have been with us for years, across multiple roles, employers, projects, babies, pandemics etc.
We pride ourselves on knowing IT people and we would like to get to know you.
Wanna talk? Apply Now and let's get started.
The small print
