Water Technician – Auckland
Shape a better world with Mott MacDonald
At Mott MacDonald New Zealand, we’re driven by a shared purpose: to improve society by considering social outcomes in everything we do. We’re currently seeking a Water Technician to join our specialist water utility monitoring team, working on critical wastewater and water network monitoring projects that make a real difference to communities across Aotearoa.
This is a hands-on, predominantly outdoor role based in Auckland, where no two days are the same. You’ll be installing and servicing flow, level, and logging equipment in diverse environments—from wastewater manholes and stormwater pipes to treatment plants and above-ground instrument cabinets. It’s a role that requires a can-do attitude, a willingness to get your hands dirty, and a passion for solving technical challenges that have a tangible impact on the environment and public health.
Our monitoring programs support major infrastructure upgrades and provide real-time data that informs water quality, network performance, and compliance with environmental standards. You’ll be part of a close-knit, high-performing team that’s trusted across the industry for delivering quality outcomes. Whether working independently or alongside your teammates, your safety and wellbeing will always be our top priority.
What you'll do
Install and service flow, level, and logging equipment in wastewater and stormwater networks
Work in environments such as manholes, pipes, instrument cabinets, and treatment plants
Perform site-based work, including occasional night shifts, with a strong focus on safety
Check and validate monitoring data for accuracy and performance
Schedule and carry out maintenance activities across multiple sites
Analyse data trends and report findings to engineers, scientists, and managers
Contribute to real-time monitoring programs that support infrastructure upgrades and environmental compliance
About you
Practical and safety-conscious, with a willingness to work in confined spaces like manholes
Physically fit and able to pass a full medical test
Hold a full NZ driver’s licence and legal entitlement to work in New Zealand
Comfortable working with wastewater and in physically active environments
Background in plumbing, drainlaying, construction, or general contracting is a bonus (not essential)
Basic computer skills in Word and Excel
Flexible with working hours, including occasional night shifts
Eager to learn, grow, and contribute to a purpose-driven team
Why Mott MacDonald?
Employee-owned business that empowers our people and shares success
Competitive salary and enhanced KiwiSaver contributions
Discretionary Group and Personal Performance Bonuses for eligible employees
Ongoing professional development and career growth opportunities
Supportive, inclusive culture that values diversity and prioritises wellbeing
Meaningful projects that create positive social and environmental impact
A team that celebrates achievements, promotes collaboration, and upholds integrity
If you don’t tick every box, that’s okay. We’re looking for people who share our values—collaboration, inclusion, adaptability, and trust—and are ready to make a difference. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
Application and selection process
If this sounds like the right role for you please apply online as soon as possible. The online application process takes about 10 minutes and you'll need to upload your CV/resume.
Agile working
At Mott MacDonald, we believe it makes business sense for you and your manager to choose how you can work most effectively to meet your client, team and personal commitments. We embrace agility, flexibility and trust.
