  • A problem-solving mindset and a drive to apply innovation to complex technical challenges

  • Clear, confident communication skills – both written and verbal – tailored to a range of audiences

  • A collaborative approach with a track record of contributing to high-performing project teams

  • Ideally, experience leading small projects or work packages and an interest in stepping into project ownership

What excites you:

  • A blend of office-based design and on-site project work – you enjoy seeing your work come to life

  • Visiting client and project sites around New Zealand

  • Taking the next step into a client-facing or leadership role – whether as a project engineer, client leader, or future work winner

  • Being part of a collaborative, multi-discipline team and gaining the confidence to lead your own projects
