With over 20 years of experience, a portfolio of more than 460 completed stores, and a reputation for delivering excellence, Dimension is at the forefront of the industry. They partner with both luxury brands and nationwide retailers, offering a full end-to-end service from manufacturing through project management to handover. Their privately owned, award-winning business operates with strong ethics, sustainability in mind, and an unwavering commitment to quality.
Dimension Shopfitters has an immediate requirement for a Senior Project Manager to step into this critical leadership role within their high-performing business. This is a unique opportunity for a sharp, commercially astute leader to take charge of major projects while mentoring and shaping the next generation of Project Managers.

The Role
In this role, you’ll take the lead on delivering high-value national projects, while also playing a pivotal role in shaping the strategic direction of the business. You’ll not only oversee project execution, ensuring delivery is on time, within budget, and exceeding client expectations, but also drive continuous improvement across processes, systems, and project profitability.

This is a leadership position where you will mentor and develop an established Project Management team, ensuring best practices and continuous improvement across all areas of the business. You will also be instrumental in driving commercial success, refining systems, and strengthening client relationships.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead and support the Project Management team, providing mentorship, training, and knowledge-sharing while fostering a strong team culture

  • Ensure projects are delivered on schedule, within budget and to client satisfaction
  • Manage subcontractor coordination, site organisation and labour allocation
  • Work closely with the General Manager on strategic initiatives and client relationships
  • Drive continuous improvement in processes, systems, and project profitability
  • Uphold the highest standards of safety and quality across all projects

  • A natural leader with experience mentoring and developing teams
  • Strong commercial acumen, with a track record of delivering profitable projects
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to build strong client relationships
  • Strategic mindset with a proactive approach to problem-solving and innovation 
This is a rare opportunity to join a well-established, highly respected business that is setting the standard for shopfitting and joinery in New Zealand. If you’re a Senior Project Manager who thrives in a fast-paced, high-calibre environment and is ready for a bigger leadership role, we’d love to hear from you.
