Senior or Intermediate Structural Engineer

• Varied structural projects, from design through to construction
• Approachable leaders, strong technical support and room to grow
• Hawke’s Bay lifestyle, flexible hours and a nine-day fortnight option

Interesting engineering. A supportive team. Space to enjoy life.

Looking for a role where you can take ownership of projects, broaden your experience and work alongside people who readily share their knowledge?

This established, medium-sized engineering consultancy offers that opportunity, with a Hastings base and projects across New Zealand. Add Hawke’s Bay’s beaches, cycle trails, wineries and outdoor lifestyle, and there’s plenty to enjoy beyond work too.

The opportunity

You’ll join a busy structural team working on industrial buildings, large storage and processing facilities, and structures supporting heavy machinery. There’s also scope to contribute to commercial projects and seismic assessment and strengthening, depending on your experience.

The work offers variety, technical challenge and exposure to the full project lifecycle. You’ll develop structural designs, coordinate with technicians, support consenting and stay involved through construction, working with clients and resolving practical issues on site.

For an intermediate engineer, this is an opportunity to build your confidence in managing projects, with experienced engineers available for guidance. For a senior engineer, there’s scope to lead delivery, manage client relationships and help develop junior colleagues.

People who support your progress

The team’s strength is its willingness to work together. Senior engineers and leaders are accessible, questions are welcomed, and knowledge is shared. You’ll have the trust to get on with your work and experienced people to turn to when a project needs another perspective.

Regular team catch-ups and social activities help maintain that connection.

Alongside a salary reflecting your experience and contribution, benefits include:

• Flexible start and finish times to accommodate life and family commitments

• A nine-day fortnight option after the initial six months

• Health insurance for employees, with discounted cover for families

• Working from home when circumstances require it, within a role based primarily in the office

What you’ll bring

You’ll have structural design experience in New Zealand and be ready to take responsibility for your work. Ideally, you’ll bring five or more years’ experience, although engineers with three-plus years and the capability to grow into the role are also encouraged to apply.

Commercial building experience provides a useful foundation for the industrial work, so previous industrial project experience isn’t essential.

Just as valuable are clear communication, initiative and a collaborative approach. At senior level, you’ll be comfortable working directly with clients, coordinating project delivery and guiding others. Chartered status would be valued.

Whether you’re already in Hawke’s Bay or considering a move, this is an opportunity to combine engaging engineering work with a lifestyle you can enjoy.
