Help shape the future of Niwa Projects

Niwa Projects is a young Wellington construction company with a clear direction: high-performance building, offsite manufacturing, and Passive House principles, done properly. Today we’re a subcontractor on Tier 1 commercial façade projects. Tomorrow we’re a main contractor running a full digital-first OSM operation. This role sits right in the middle of that journey — and helps drive it.

We’re not hiring someone to fill a seat in a finished system. We’re looking for someone to help build the system.

The opportunity

This is a foundational role. You’ll own our Cadwork modelling and, over time, help stand up the BIM, 4D and digital coordination capability that our offsite-manufacturing future depends on. You’ll have real influence over how Niwa models, plans and coordinates as we grow — the standards, the workflows, the digital backbone. As the company scales toward prefab manufacturing, this role scales with it.

What you’ll do

Day one, the core is modelling:

• Develop detailed 3D models in Cadwork for timber framing, façade and structural elements — built for offsite manufacturing and machine output.
• Establish our Cadwork workflow from scratch: standards, templates, naming conventions, and the digital handoff from design to fabrication to site.

As we grow, the role broadens into:

• 4D modelling — linking the Cadwork model to programme and construction sequencing, working with Asta Powerproject.
• Quantity take-offs and QS capability driven directly from the model.
• Digital coordination across structural (mass timber), mechanical and façade trades — resolving clashes before they reach site.
• Contributing to our QA and project systems as they mature.

Who we’re looking for

• Strong Cadwork skills — or solid timber/BIM modelling experience and the ability to get up to speed quickly.
• A genuine understanding of timber construction, framing and offsite manufacturing.
• Curiosity and drive around the wider picture: 4D, programming, QS, digital construction. You don’t need all of this today, but you should want to build it.
• A self-starter who’s comfortable with ambiguity — happy creating process where none exists yet.
• Alignment with our kaupapa: better building standards, continuous improvement, and doing things the right way.
