Mō tō mātou āhuatanga | Who we are

Tonkin + Taylor is New Zealand's leading engineering and environmental consultancy, renowned for our technical excellence in solving complex challenges. We are proudly a New Zealand, employee-owned company, and our collective mission is to create and sustain a better world. With a small team in Hawkes Bay, more of our projects need local, on-the-ground support and stronger kanohi ki te kanohi engagement.

To meet this growing need, we're looking for a Geotechnical or Civil Engineer with Project Management experience to join our Geotechnical Discipline in Napier / Hawkes Bay. You'll have experience in engineering consultancy or construction, and will play a pivotal role in both supporting local relationships and identifying and developing wider opportunities for T+T.

This is a busy and exciting role, one that will allow you to be a leader in some of our essential Hawkes Bay projects, while working alongside a range of technical experts.

Some of the exciting projects you'd be supporting include:

  • Flood protection and river engineering (including stopbanks and asset development)
  • Land development and subdivisions (geotech and stormwater design)
  • Landfill development and construction
  • Three waters infrastructure (pipe networks, reservoir design, pump stations, and asset protection)
  • Roading and transport design (civil and geotechnical aspects)
  • Coastal protection and resilience works

To be successful in this role, you'll bring:

  • A strong background in Geotechnical or Civil Engineering with Project Management experience (a multidisciplinary skillset is key)
  • The ability to deliver both independently and as part of a team,
  • Strong communication skills and confidence in a client-facing role,
  • Experience in construction administration would be advantageous
