Leading a team of approximately 25 engineers and designers, this role combines technical leadership, people leadership and business performance. This role presents an opportunity to build and shape a high-performing team in one of Beca’s fastest-growing power capability teams. This role will be based in Jakarta and will involve some international travel.
You will bring experience from an engineering consultancy, utility, network owner, renewable energy developer, contractor or similar infrastructure environment, with the ability to provide both technical guidance and leadership. Working closely with technical leaders, project directors and client managers, you'll help develop our people, support project delivery, build client relationships and drive sustainable growth across the Power business. You’ll have the autonomy to foster an inclusive culture, and set new standards for collaboration and service excellence, making a significant impact on both people and project outcomes.
This is an opportunity to influence both the technical direction and culture of a high-performing team while contributing to some of the most significant energy and infrastructure projects across New Zealand and the wider Asia-Pacific region. Our section manager roles are busy, challenging, dynamic and rewarding positions where your abilities will be tested and developed, playing a significant part in developing our people, hiring new team members and supporting Power’s project, client and commercial goals.

About you
To be successful in this role, you will bring leadership experience leading teams, with demonstrated track record of building and developing high-performing teams and navigating periods of rapid growth. This experience may be in a current Manager role, Team Leader role or could be in a delivery, technical, or client-focused role with the right mix of business, people, and leadership skills.
You will be known as a leader who ‘sets the bar’ in terms of culture and professionalism. You will be able to inspire a positive working environment, and will know how to guide, develop, challenge, and inspire other professionals with experience in 1:1 development focused conversations. You will enjoy a challenge, be action focused, display the ability to balance competing time commitments, and be comfortable with making commercial judgements. You will have (and be ready to develop) your broad leadership skills with an understanding of employment issues from a people leadership perspective.
