Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is a chance to join a consultancy with an established project portfolio and continued growth ambitions. You will gain exposure to a variety of projects across Auckland and wider New Zealand, while working alongside an experienced multidisciplinary team.

There is scope to take ownership of technically interesting projects, further develop your specialist stormwater expertise and contribute to the continued growth of the engineering team. The business also recognises the importance of professional development and providing an environment where engineers can progress their careers.

The opportunity offers:

• Competitive remuneration based on experience.
• Varied project work across Auckland and wider New Zealand.
