Job description

Bridge Engineer – Tauranga

Looking for a sea change without compromising your career? Join Beca’s growing Tauranga office and help shape the future of local infrastructure. You’ll work on meaningful regional and national projects, grow your technical capability, and enjoy everything the Bay of Plenty has to offer — from stunning beaches to a vibrant local culture.

The opportunity

We’re looking for an enthusiastic Intermediate Bridge Designer to join our Tauranga Structures team. You’ll contribute to new bridge designs and the assessment and strengthening of existing structures as part of a supportive, high‑performing group. You’ll collaborate with experienced engineers on projects across the Waikato, Bay of Plenty, and nationwide. This role offers the chance to deepen your technical foundations, broaden your design skills, and gain exposure across the full project lifecycle. With Beca’s strong network of regional offices, you’ll enjoy genuine work–life balance while accessing meaningful technical challenges, career growth, and a collaborative professional services environment.

About you

You’re an emerging bridge designer who works well in a team, communicates clearly, and enjoys contributing to shared project outcomes. You bring a solid grounding in structural or bridge design, with experience across concept and detailed design, technical calculations, modelling, documentation, and design reviews. You understand the bridge design process from early investigations through to construction and approach your work with curiosity, proactivity, and a desire to strengthen your technical judgement. Experience with digital or parametric tools is helpful but not essential; what matters most is your motivation to learn and grow alongside senior engineers. You’ll be a Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng) or actively working toward chartership, supported by mentoring, structured development pathways, and access to industry experts.

What we offer

• Professional development and career growth
• A supportive, inclusive environment where you can bring your whole self to work
• Relocation and immigration support for suitable applicants
• Flexible working arrangements
• Opportunities to learn from industry experts across the Asia Pacific
• A collaborative, people‑focused culture
• Excellent staff benefits — including discounted health insurance, gym memberships, and social events

We’re committed to a diverse and inclusive culture, open to people of all genders, identities, ethnicities, and experiences.

We also offer a range of employee benefits, designed to reward and recognise the amazing things our people are doing everyday. And our values of partnership, tenacity, enjoyment and care are reflected in the way we work, with our people and with our clients. When you are part of our Beca family, you’ll own your own career path and contribute to a legacy. Join us and discover for yourself how you own your career and can make a everyday better.
