Senior Design Manager – Health
Lead complex healthcare projects from design brief to construction-ready documentation.
This is a senior design leadership role at the sharp end of New Zealand's healthcare infrastructure pipeline. You'll own design outcomes across complex, high-profile projects including the upcoming Regional Hospital Redevelopment Programme and this will involve coordinating multidisciplinary teams, managing commercial risk, and keeping quality, programme, and cost aligned from inception through to consent and procurement.
You'll operate with real autonomy. That means making decisions, resolving coordination challenges, and navigating design risk without needing someone to sign off every step. You'll be the trusted face of design to the client — building relationships, managing expectations, and delivering outcomes that reflect well on everyone involved.
