Mō te tūranga | About the role
We’re looking for a Stabilising Engineer to join our team in Hamilton, supporting projects across Waikato and around New Zealand.
This is a hands-on role with our national operations crew, where you’ll help plan, coordinate and deliver civil works that matter.

This role involves regular travel across New Zealand and extended periods away from home. Most work is completed Monday to Friday, with weekend work, travel, and occasional night shift work required during busy periods. It’s a role for someone who enjoys getting stuck in, adapts well, and is ready to do good work wherever the job takes them.
