Job description
Arguably the biggest success story in NZ civil engineering/land development over the last decade, these industry jetsetters are looking for a Senior Civil Engineer to join their Auckland team.
Take the next step in your civil engineering career by joining a consultancy that is consistently delivering some of New Zealand's most complex and high-profile land development projects.
Buoyed by lower interest rates, well capitalised clients, a swathe of internal promotions and a long term approach to all things Civil Engineering and Land Development, these market leaders are seeking a Senior Civil Engineer to hit the ground running in 2026.
Why This Role?
End-to-End Project Leadership: You will be at the helm of large-scale civil engineering projects, overseeing them from initial concept through to completion.
Big Projects, Close-Knit Team: Work in small, collaborative teams on large developments that span hundreds of lots, giving you the chance to leave your mark on Auckland’s future.
Accelerate Your Career: With over 20 Chartered Engineers amongst their ranks, this consultancy can provide unparalleled mentorship and the tools needed to become Chartered yourself.
Diverse Clientele & High-Impact Work: Clients include top developers, councils, and private sector entities, providing you with the opportunity to work on diverse and impactful projects.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead and manage land development projects, ensuring they are delivered on time and within budget.
Perform complex civil designs using Civil 3D and AutoCAD, while ensuring quality control throughout the project.
Mentor junior and intermediate engineers, fostering their professional growth.
Build and maintain relationships with clients, contractors, councils, and other stakeholders.
Oversee site inspections and manage contractors to ensure projects are executed to the highest standard.
Assist in identifying and securing new business opportunities.
What You’ll Bring:
5+ years of civil engineering experience, with a strong background in land development.
Proficiency in Civil 3D and AutoCAD.
Strong understanding of NZS3910 construction contracts.
A tertiary qualification in civil engineering (BE, NZDE, BEngTech).
Proven leadership skills and experience managing projects from start to finish.
A passion for innovation and delivering high-quality engineering solutions.
What’s in It for You?
Be part of a firm with a reputation for excellence and a track record of delivering top-tier projects.
Enjoy the opportunity to work on large, complex projects that are reshaping Auckland’s landscape.
A supportive environment that values professional development and encourages you to achieve Chartered status.
A strong pipeline of work in a consultancy known for its vibrant, collaborative culture.
This opportunity is not one to be missed and is sure to be snapped up soon so apply now.
