About LEAD Alliance

LEAD is unique because unlike other alliances, our focus is multiple large-scale infrastructure developments in complex urban environments. On behalf of Kāinga Ora, we develop land and deliver new infrastructure and amenity that will support tens of thousands of homes. We work across eight neighborhoods that total 52 sq. km2 - equivalent to half the size of Hamilton! If you thrive in a complex, dynamic environment, then we want to hear from you.­­
