ROBERT WALTERS

Egmont Dixon was engaged to undertake project management of Robert Walters’ planned Wellington and Auckland office fitout projects. These projects included just over 1600 m2 of commercial fitout across the regions. Each of these premises intended to set a new way of working in recruitment, emphasising open work environments, collaboration spaces and most importantly a hospitality space for meeting with candidates – this was industry-leading.

Egmont Dixon was engaged as the client-side project manager, leading the consultant team through design, consenting, procurement, and delivery of the contract works for these projects. Working closely with RW’s New Zealand Director, Egmont Dixon also provided advisory services through the lease negotiation for the Auckland office to assist in the negotiation of the Agreement to Lease and design requirements. Both projects were delivered on time and within budget, delivering a new way of working for this global recruitment firm.

With a very hands-on client, who took an active role in design and decision-making, we tailored our approach to facilitate close collaboration and problem-solving. This allowed us to enjoy delivering these high-standard fit-outs while keeping a close eye on the budget and programme for delivery – both non-negotiable.
