Our Water sector has a large community of three waters engineers across New Zealand, as well as internationally through our global business. 
We are a wholly independent, employee-owned, global engineering, management and development consultancy with strong local leadership and autonomy.

Our Wellington based Water team works on a variety of water and multidisciplinary projects across the south of the North Island, whilst also working closely with our Auckland and Christchurch based colleagues.

The role, what you will do.

Our Water team in Wellington is fast growing and we are looking for an established Civil Engineer with experience in wastewater, stormwater and/or potable water systems to join us in delivering exciting projects across New Zealand, with a specific focus on the Wellington Region. 

As a key member of our multidisciplinary team this opportunity would see you preparing concept and detailed civil engineering designs, producing technical and commercial specifications, drawings, and schedules on a range of projects.

Your contribution will help to continue to grow our presence in the Wellington Region as well as improve access to three waters infrastructure, public health, and the local environment through the projects we deliver. 

This role will be pivotal in further developing our existing team. It's a fantastic opportunity to progress your technical and management skills through your project work and build on-site experience with great prospects for career progression as the business continues to grow.
