Mechanical Engineer - Energy & Industrial

At Aurecon, we are optimistic about the future. We are thinkers, solvers, and collaborators who work with our clients to deliver the infrastructure and assets that strengthen communities and create a sustainable future.

What you'll do

• Deliver mechanical engineering work across brownfield and sustaining capital projects.
• Develop and assess engineering options, supporting practical recommendations for clients and project teams.
• Contribute to projects from early-stage studies through to delivery and site support.
• Build strong working relationships with clients, contractors and project stakeholders.
• Work alongside multidisciplinary teams to deliver successful project outcomes.
• Apply sound engineering judgement to solve operational and technical challenges.
• Travel to client sites across New Zealand to support projects and gain a strong understanding of client operations.

Is this role right for you?

This role offers a balance of technical engineering, client interaction and practical problem solving.

While you'll still be involved in engineering calculations, technical documentation and design deliverables, you'll also spend time understanding how industrial facilities operate, working directly with clients, and helping turn project requirements into practical engineering outcomes.

We're looking for an engineer who enjoys getting out from behind the desk, learning how facilities work in the real world, and collaborating with clients and project teams to deliver solutions that make a difference.

You'll be equally comfortable contributing to technical delivery, engaging with stakeholders on site, and applying sound engineering judgement to help solve complex industrial challenges.

What you'll bring

You're a degree-qualified Mechanical Engineer with experience in industrial, manufacturing, dairy, food & beverage, energy, or processing environments.

• Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals and sound engineering judgement.
• Experience delivering engineering projects, work packages or technical studies.
• The ability to assess technical options and communicate recommendations clearly.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Experience working within brownfield or operating industrial environments.
• A collaborative approach and willingness to work closely with clients and multidisciplinary teams.
• Consulting and/or site-based experience within process industries will be highly regarded.
