Te Takinatanga - Our Story
Kainga Ora - Homes and Communities brings together the three existing agencies of Housing New Zealand, HLC and KiwiBuild to form a new organisation.
We do amazing, important work. We contribute to thriving communities that provide New Zealanders with good quality, affordable homes. Our work supports people to have good access to jobs, amenities and services, as well as improving the wellbeing of current and future generations.
We do this by being a world class public housing provider, and partnering with others to deliver urban development projects.
Ko ta matou mahi - Our Role
The Healthy Homes Guarantee Act was passed in December 2017 to enable standards to be set to make rental homes warmer and drier. These standards cover heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture ingress and drainage, and draught-stopping. The standards came into force on 1 July 2019, and Kainga Ora and Community Housing Providers must comply with the Healthy Homes Standards by 1 July 2023. We will also be exceeding the standards in relation to ensuring a home can achieve World Health Organization Guidelines for indoor air temperature, meaning a whole of house heating solution that will achieve 18 degrees or more.
As Project Manager, you will primarily be responsible for working with our head contractors to ensure the programme is delivered within the compliance timeframe, quality and financial parameters set for homes within your allocated portfolio.
This is a high profile and high volume programme that will require regular reporting and monitoring for outcomes, and communicating with internal and external stakeholders. As the Healthy Homes Programme will operate alongside other work programmes or interventions, this role will need to work closely with Asset Management and other programmes to gain an understanding of the long term view of the portfolio to ensure effective investment in the portfolio.
