Water Engineering Leader, Hamilton
An opportunity for a senior or principal water engineer to step into a key leadership role, leading a high-performing, engaged team of engineers, consultants and project delivery specialists from early career through to principal level. With a strong and diverse pipeline of work across multiple clients and water disciplines, we’re open to your technical background—as long as you bring a proven track record of technical and commercial excellence, and a genuine commitment to developing people.
This is a strategic leadership role at a pivotal time for the water sector, particularly in the Waikato with the establishment of two new Water CCOs. While you’ll provide direction and oversight, your technical expertise remains valued - continuing to grow your area of interest while contributing to project governance, bids and proposals, and building on the team’s already strong culture and engagement.
About you
We’re interested in hearing from senior water or general civil engineers, with experience across any part of the three waters.
Minimum of ten years of relevant professional experience with significant experience within a consultancy
Ideally you have substantial experience in leading teams, however we are keen to hear from you if you are earlier in your leadership journey
Chartered Professional Engineer, or working towards it
Strong organisational skills to optimise and prioritise competing demands.
Good interpersonal and communication skills, with ability to effectively convey information to diverse audiences.
A team player, authentic, trustworthy empathetic and relationship-driven
Having a growth mindset, continuously seeking opportunities for personal and professional development of yourself and others
Committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace
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.
