About this Project Manager, Invercargill role at Fulton Hogan
Fulton Hogan · Onsite · Invercargill
Mō te tūranga | About the role
We’re looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead delivery on a major industrial construction project in Invercargill.
This is varied, hands-on work inside a live operational environment, with phase one focused on civil, drainage, and building modification works, and future stages expected to include mechanical, structural steel, electrical, and commissioning scopes. It’s the kind of role that needs broad construction nous, strong leadership, and someone who knows how to keep moving parts working together.
You’ll be leading a project with real complexity, multiple subcontractors on site, and high expectations around safety, programme, and commercial performance. If you’re a well-rounded Project Manager with a strong heavy civil foundation, particularly around reinforced concrete structures, and you’re comfortable leading in challenging environments, this could be a great next step.
We’re open to candidates based in Invercargill or someone able to work FIFO between Christchurch and Invercargill.

- Confident commercial and programme management capability, with a practical approach to solving problems and keeping delivery on track.
