Higgins Waikato has secured a new long-term contract – NZTA’s Integrated Delivery Contract (IDC) for the region, and we are looking for a Renewals Manager to join the team and lead the planning and delivery of a complex renewals programme across the full year cycle.
Based from our Morrinsville Depot, you will be responsible for turning approved scope into a safe, well‑sequenced and commercially sound delivery programme, working closely with contract leadership, delivery teams, and external partners.

Validate treatment selections using asset condition data and forward works information
Manage scope, variations, and change control to protect programme and commercial outcomes
Lead renewals procurement and oversee subcontractor performance and close out
Monitor programme progress, risks, and forecasts and provide clear reporting to contract leadership
Work closely with internal teams, clients, and site stakeholders to resolve issues early
What You’ll Bring to the Role To succeed in this role, you will be comfortable owning a renewals programme end to end and working across planning, delivery, and commercial discussions. You will bring:
A tertiary qualification at NZQF Level 5 or higher in construction, engineering, or a related field
At least five years’ experience in renewals, maintenance, or project delivery roles
Experience leading small professional teams and coordinating contractors and consultants
Strong understanding of the construction project lifecycle and renewal delivery environments
Confidence working with asset data, digital delivery systems, and programme planning tools
Clear communication skills and a practical, collaborative approach to leadership
What’s on offer:
Competitive salary package, with relocation support available
KiwiSaver employer contribution matched up to 4%
In‑house technical training and leadership development programmes
Career opportunities across Higgins and Fletcher Construction
