You’ll play a key part in delivering accurate door and hardware specifications, supporting project outcomes, and collaborating closely with a high-performing trans-Tasman team.
If you enjoy technical detail, working with construction drawings, and contributing to real-world building projects, this role offers both impact and growth.
The Role
Working closely with the New Zealand Specification team, you’ll be responsible for preparing detailed door and hardware schedules, supporting sales teams, and ensuring all specifications meet relevant codes and standards.

- 3+ years’ experience in a related role (specifications, construction, or similar)
- Understanding of door hardware, architectural, or construction industry
- Ability to read and interpret building drawings
- Knowledge of building codes and compliance requirements
- Strong communication skills, especially in a remote team environment
- Comfortable working independently and managing your time
- Experience with specification, CRM, or estimation tools
