Why the Bay of Plenty (Tauranga/The Mount)?
Think morning surf before work, school pick-ups at reasonble times, and evenings by the beach. Tauranga and the Mount offer an unbeatable mix of career opportunity, lifestyle, and family balance.
For many, it’s a chance to come back to their roots, be closer to family, or swap traffic for the ocean breeze — while still working on some of the country’s most exciting land development and infrastructure projects.
