This opportunity spans technical delivery and project leadership, from investigations, analysis, reporting and feasibility studies through to design, hydraulic modelling, hydrology, catchment planning, construction supervision and contract administration. There is also the potential to independently lead design, advisory, catchment planning or modelling projects, provide peer review, and help resolve complex technical issues with senior colleagues.

About you:

 

  • A relevant tertiary qualification in engineering or a related discipline

  • CPEng accreditation, or being substantially ready to submit your application

  • Professional experience in water or environmental engineering, preferably around five years or more.

  • Experience in some combination of water, stormwater or wastewater design, hydraulic modelling, hydrology, catchment planning, strategic planning or asset management.

  • A current clean driver licence.

  • A client-focused, collaborative approach and the ability to work effectively with people across disciplines, locations and levels of an organisation.

 

Imagine a better future for you and a better future for us all.

We are proud to have the blueprint of Aotearoa New Zealand in our DNA and our 2,000+ expert professionals in 24 offices are united by the common purpose of creating positive, long-lasting impacts on the communities we serve.
