If you've made it this far you've passed step 1 of the application. If you're are still interested please read everything below for step 2 and the actions needed for step 3 [Video Application]
If you're interested in this position, please send me short video introducing yourself and answering the following;
- What got you into Construction and P.M?
- Previous work experience and what we're your biggest learnings from the last few jobs you were managing?

----
(A few notes from Denym - Here's some advice to strengthen your application)
- Follow the instructions as listed above, if your application does not contain a video then it will not be considered.
- Make sure your video answers all the questions listed, include some of your own to stand out. Please do not send me a video you have recorded in the past. Please watch your video before sending it and make sure your audio is clear.
- Please do not get ChatGPT to write a script for you and then read it word for word while filming yourself. It's very obvious and immediately weakens your application.
- I genuinely want to know the answer to the questions I have provided, especially number 2 and 5. We've all made mistakes we've learnt from and we all have areas of strength. Tell me about them. Talking about your mistakes and learnings shows growth and humbleness. Talking about your strengths shows grounded confidence that comes from experience.
- I am not going to be impressed by the overuse of business jargon.
- Character, Integrity and Interpersonal skills are being reviewed from the video application. Someone with less experience but has a higher degree of these skills will be considered over someone that has more experience but none of these skills.
- Try not to be nervous, maybe do some deep breathing before the video. Pretend you're speaking to an old friend. I am only a human being, same as you.
- Whoever we hire is going to need training in the NZ industry. Some familiarity is a plus here so please mention it if you have some.
- Even if you may not be an exact fit for what we are looking for now we may have other positions available in the future. The key hire we are looking for is someone who can help make that happen.
I wish all of you the best with your applications.
