Te whiwhinga mahi | The opportunity

Our Transport and Infrastructure work is at the heart of our business. Developing and implementing solutions to complex problems, our team is helping to shape the world we live in across the Asia Pacific region – from highways to ports; from bridges to tunnels; from airports to rail and site development. Together we are transforming our world. We are passionate about what we do and the culture we have developed. The more diverse we are, the better our ideas, strategies and client solutions will be and the more we will better represent our world. We know that we are stronger when people from different backgrounds and perspectives work together. We are committed to growing an environment where our people have equal opportunity to build a career that reflects their ability & passions and believe in their potential, feel they belong and can be their best selves.

We are looking for Civil Engineers to join our dedicated and passionate team in either our Christchurch, Dunedin or Queenstown offices to work with key clients in the transport infrastructure sector. Project work typically encompasses medium to large projects across the South Island, but you will also have the opportunity to work on other projects throughout Aotearoa and across the Pacific.

Each day will bring challenge and variety and overall, as a Civil Engineer you can expect to:

• Deliver projects on time and to budget, while meeting clients’ needs and expectations
• Communicate proactively and positively ensuring that team members, managers and clients are well informed of your project tasks.
• Collaboratively undertake conceptual designs through to detailed design, contract procurement and construction administration with a small team
• Proactively take on learning opportunities to improve your technical skills, design process and explore new technology
• Demonstrate effective communication, presentation, networking and consulting skills
• Develop and mentor others to grow successful careers
• Foster client relationships that contribute to repeat business

Ko wai koe | About you

Your passion, design and problem-solving mindset will be matched with a desire to work as a team on meaningful and significant multidisciplinary projects. You will also:

• Have a qualification in Civil Engineering with two to five years previous experience in a consulting or construction environment, working on infrastructure projects
• Have an interest in road and transport design, general civil site design and/or stormwater
• Bring a ‘can do’ attitude and enjoy working in teams.
• Be passionate about learning from others and developing yourself

Although not essential, if you have some knowledge or experience in design packages like AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Open Roads, or 12D, we would love to hear about it. We also like to have fun along the way, so a good sense of humour will hold you in good stead.
