Client Solutions Manager

There’s a significant amount of work underway across New Zealand’s civil and construction sectors right now. Infrastructure upgrades, maintenance programmes, and project pipelines continue to create sustained demand for skilled site-based talent. At the same time, clients are looking for recruitment partners who understand how work is actually delivered on the ground - not just how roles are written on paper.

At Magnetic, we are building a more integrated, capable offering across temporary workforce, contractors, and permanent recruitment. This role sits at the centre of that. You’ll be part of a team that works closely with clients to support live projects, respond to changing site demands, and provide a reliable, high-quality workforce across civil and construction environments.

This is an opportunity to step into a desk with real scope. You’ll have the backing of an established brand, strong existing relationships, and the ability to shape how we grow our presence across civil, infrastructure, and construction projects.

The role You will focus on the delivery and growth of temporary and contract recruitment across civil and construction environments. This is a hands-on role, working closely with clients, candidates, and internal teams to ensure workforce requirements are met quickly and effectively.

You’ll spend time building relationships on-site and in-market, understanding upcoming work, and ensuring we have the right people ready to go. Alongside this, you’ll manage the end-to-end recruitment process - from sourcing and onboarding through to workforce management and ongoing client engagement. You will have access to resourcing support, allowing you to build quickly and create solid long term client solutions.

This is not a purely office-based role. It requires someone who is comfortable being out in the field, engaging with supervisors, project managers, superintendents, business owners, as well as workers, and building credibility through genuine industry understanding.

What we’re looking for We’re looking for someone who is connected to the civil and construction industry and understands the pace, pressure, and practical realities of delivering work on-site.

You may come from recruitment, or directly from industry in a supervisory, coordination, or project-based role. What matters is your strong network, ability to build trust, move quickly, and stay organised in a fast-moving environment.

• Strong connection to civil, construction, or infrastructure sectors
• Experience in recruitment, labour coordination, or site-based leadership roles
• Ability to build relationships with both clients and workforce
• Commercial awareness and drive to grow your business within the business
• Comfortable working at pace and managing multiple priorities
• Practical, solutions-focused approach

What success looks like Success in this role is about becoming a trusted partner to your clients and a reliable point of contact for your workforce. You’ll build a strong pipeline of active assignments, maintain high fill rates, and develop long-term relationships that lead to repeat and expanded work. Over time, you’ll establish yourself as someone who understands the market, anticipates demand, and consistently delivers.

The role composition consists of a base salary plus market competitive uncapped commissions and a tool of the trade vehicle.
