Job Description

The Company

Employs around 40 staff in their Auckland office with 20% being Chartered Professional Engineers.

Their staff are specialists across structural, civil and environmental engineering design. This has been illustrated across numerous projects in numerous fields including, retirement home developments, schools, apartment and retail buildings, residential subdivision, water pump stations, bridges, temporary works design, insurance and seismic assessments and many, many more.

The Role
They are seeking a qualified civil engineer who is passionate about three waters design, confident in client facing roles and a motivated problem solver.

About You

  • Ability to apply knowledge to problem solve is essential as no two projects are the same.
  • Excellent communication required as all engineers are client facing.
  • Happy to train on the technical side for engineers who have 3 waters experience on private developments and wish to shift to public, but only where they show significant promise with communication skill, intelligence and attitude/cultural fit.
  • Do not have capacity currently to take on any who are not independently driven or need help with communication/comprehension.
  • A BE, NZCE or BEngTech qualification (or equivalent)
  • 2+ years of high quality engineering design experience
  • Experience with site presence and client/contractor engagement
