Te whiwhinga mahi| The opportunity

Our Transport and Infrastructure work is at the heart of our business.

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 a Senior Civil Engineer to join our dedicated and passionate team in our Christchurch office. 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.

Ko wai koe | About you

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

• Have a qualification in Civil Engineering with approximately five years’ experience in a consulting environment working on transport infrastructure projects.

• Have experience using one of the design packages such as Civil 3D, Open Roads Designer, or 12D.
• Bring a ‘can do’ attitude and enjoy working in teams.
• Be passionate about developing yourself, learning from others and supporting the development of our junior team members.

We would love to know if you have worked on projects involving Traffic and Transportation, Walking and Cycling, Pavement and Surfacing design, Utilities and Stormwater Drainage. And last but not least, we also like to have fun along the way, so a good sense of humour will hold you in good stead.
