Job description

The Opportunity

I’m working with a highly respected multidisciplinary consultancy in Auckland that is looking to add a Senior Civil Engineer to its growing Three Waters team.

This firm has built a strong reputation for its technical capability and team-first culture. With over 30 engineers from a wide range of backgrounds, they’ve been named Employer of the Year multiple times and have earned long-term partnerships with key public sector clients.

Engineers here are supported, heard, and trusted to do great work.

You’ll join a close-knit civil team where senior engineers are hands-on and approachable, and where collaboration is key to success.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for leading the design and delivery of a wide variety of Three Waters projects, from strategic upgrades to urgent site-based support, while also contributing to the growth and development of the team through informal mentoring and knowledge sharing.
Projects include:
  • Urgent operational responses such as burst mains and slip repairs
  • Stormwater separations, infrastructure upgrades, and development support
  • Water and wastewater pipelines, pump stations, treatment plant upgrades
  • Inspections, scoping, quoting, and day-to-day client communications
  • Supporting junior engineers and draftspersons across design and delivery
  • This is a highly visible delivery role with plenty of variety, autonomy, and opportunity for career growth.

What You’ll Bring
  • BE (Civil) or equivalent with ideally 8+ years’ of New Zealand experience in Three Waters
  • Strong technical design skills across stormwater, wastewater, and water supply. Strong experience with Civil3D, AutoCAD and HEC - HMS, HEC - RES would be advantageous
  • Ability to lead projects independently and manage client expectations
  • A team-oriented mindset with a willingness to support and mentor others
  • Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
  • Public sector infrastructure experience is a bonus
What’s in it for You
  • Competitive remuneration and annual salary reviews
  • Free parking and flexible work environment
  • Established professional development and CPD pathways
  • A strong pipeline of projects and trusted public clients
  • Friday drinks, team events, and a truly supportive office culture
  • Opportunity to work with highly experienced engineers who are approachable and generous with their knowledge

If you’re looking for a senior technical role where you’ll be trusted to lead high-impact projects and you want to be part of a culture that values people as much as performance, then I’d love to hear from you.
