Integral role within our Structures Practice
Join a social, close-knit, high-performing team!
Vibrant Wynyard Quarter offices
For more than six decades, Holmes has led the engineering industry in invention, creativity, and quality. During that time, we've worked across New Zealand and the world, delivering premium structural, fire and civil solutions for thousands of landmark projects. Our administration function has evolved and grown over this time and is now seen as a strategic enabler for the business. With the structure we have in place and the exceptional support the function provides, this enables our people to deliver outstanding work.
An integral part of Holmes, the Senior Project Coordinator is responsible for end-to-end administration and coordination throughout the project lifecycle. This role will see you providing financial reporting, information, and analysis on project performance and planning to optimise project objectives. You'll also lead the preparation and management of monthly project accounts, reports, and invoices (including WIP), ensuring all billable hours and fees are accounted for and recovered. Gaining a thorough understanding of the 'bigger picture' for the Structures team you support, the value you'll provide in this role will be through insights into project revenue, expenses, profitability, and other key metrics. Working closely with the Structures Leader and Auckland Structures Manager, you'll also provide vital day-to-day support including diary management, preparing reports, and booking travel. It's a busy and varied role, where you'll build trust and credibility with senior project team members to identify ways to work smarter and embed process improvements across the project lifecycle.
To be considered for this role, you'll ideally be tertiary qualified, with extensive prior experience in a project administration role, ideally within the construction or professional services industry. You'll have strong knowledge of Project Management Methodologies and be able to build relationships with key stakeholders with ease. Due to the scale and complexity of the projects we're working on, analysis is a crucial part of this position, so you must have proven Excel skills to an advanced level.
In return, you'll get to be part of a vibrant culture and supportive team. We celebrate and reward success, nurture career development, and always look for opportunities to make our work environment more motivating and inspirational for our people.
