Fletcher Building Limited Looking for Community Engagement and Placemaking Lead at Penrose, Auckland Full Time
About Us
As one of the country’s leading residential developers and builders, the Fletcher Residential and Land Development Division is an integral part of the Fletcher Building family.
For over 113 years we have proudly built more than just homes, but places designed to nurture living in all its beauty, richness, and variety. We create neighbourhoods complete with parks, shops, and playgrounds. Neighbourhoods that are well connected to schools, businesses, and transport.
If we could have it our way, people would talk a little bit less about housing and a bit more about living. That’s because we believe the Kiwi dream is bigger than a quarter acre.
It takes hard work to make living this easy, but we love doing it.
Why Join Us?
Our Community and Stakeholder Engagement team plays a key role in helping us deliver on our ongoing commitment to deliver long-lasting, meaningful stakeholder and Iwi relations and establish strong, positive ties within local communities.
