Mō tō mātou āhuatanga | Who we are

At Tonkin + Taylor, we're proud to be one of Aotearoa New Zealand's leading engineering and environmental consultancies. We're known for tackling complex challenges with creativity and strong technical expertise.

Our people make us who we are. We're big on collaboration, inclusivity, and creating an environment where everyone feels supported to achieve their goals. You'll find plenty of opportunities here to grow professionally and personally, working on diverse, meaningful projects that make a real difference.

Kei te hiahia mātou ki ōu | We want your skills

We're looking for a curious and motivated current final-year student to join us in early 2027.

This is your chance to kick-start your career through a graduate programme built around real-world experience and genuine capability development.

You'll be in your final year of a BE(Hons) or ME in one of the following:

• Civil Engineering
• Environmental Engineering
• Natural Resource Engineering

Te āheinga | The opportunity

As a graduate, you'll work alongside experienced engineers and scientists on a wide range of projects, with opportunities to get involved in:

• Environmental impact and risk assessments
• Contaminated land and waste management projects
• Air, water, and soil quality investigations
• Sustainability and environmental compliance work
• Fieldwork, site investigations, and data analysis

From day one, you'll contribute to real projects and build a strong technical foundation, while developing the consulting, project management, and client-facing skills that will shape your career.

Nā tōu rourou | What you'll bring

We're looking for someone who brings energy, curiosity, and a collaborative mindset. Ideally you'll have:

• Strong interpersonal skills and a genuine enjoyment of working in a team
• A keen interest in developing your technical knowledge and understanding how consultancy works
• A curious mindset and the ability to think practically about client problems
• A GPA of 5+
• Involvement in extracurricular activities (e.g. work experience, volunteering, sport, or clubs) — beneficial but not essential
• The right to work in New Zealand

At T+T, your growth matters from day one. You'll work alongside experienced engineers and scientists who are genuinely approachable and invested in your success — and you'll be encouraged to take real ownership of your development.

You'll have access to:

• A structured graduate programme
• Mentoring from experienced professionals
• Learning and development opportunities, both in-house and external
• Real projects, real responsibility, and the skills to grow your career
