The Role:

You will lead a portfolio of mobile tower installations and network upgrade projects end to end, from initiation and planning through design and delivery, ensuring every project is delivered safely, commercially and to the highest technical standard.

Working closely with customers, engineering, property, vendors, suppliers, service providers and property acquisition managers, you will bring structure, momentum and confidence to complex, multi-party delivery environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead complex tower and passive infrastructure projects across planning, design and build.

• Own project plans, forecasts, budgets, reporting, governance and change controls to keep delivery on track and commercially disciplined.

• Anticipate and manage risks, issues, dependencies and opportunities across high-volume, technically complex programmes of work.

• Interpret technical specifications, drawings, evidence requirements and regulatory obligations from concept design through to build completion.

• Build trusted relationships across Customer, Engineering, Property, Finance, vendors and subcontractors to support safe, high-quality delivery.

• Drive subcontractor performance, delivery discipline, flexibility and continuous improvement.

• Champion NZ regulatory and Workplace Health & Safety compliance, promoting a proactive safety culture across every site and partner interface.

• Represent Connexa confidently in technical forums, delivery reviews and knowledge-sharing initiatives.

Requirements

• Experience delivering digital twin, drone capture, 3D survey, structural assessment or similar digital asset programmes, or comparable technology deployment experience at national scale.
• Confidence working with geospatial, survey and model data, and experience man aging specialist software platforms, licences and their vendors.
• Experience in telecoms engineering and a radio frequency all rounder
• An understanding of technical drawings is essential
• You will have fantastic communication and relationship building skills in all formats
• A creative approach to problem-solving
• Ability to collaborate effectively with multiple internal and external stakeholders
• A recognition and embrace of differences and diversity in the workplace
• A growth mindset and desire for continuous improvement
• An alignment with our values: Ambition; Innovation; collaboration and Integrity
