Intermediate Civil Engineer – Stormwater
The opportunity
Our work ranges from engineering and consenting for large residential and industrial developments to landscape assessments of roads and wetlands, and the building of sophisticated flood models for urban catchments and major transport infrastructure.
Whether leading delivery or contributing specialist expertise, we work closely with iwi, partners, and stakeholders to achieve positive results for our clients, always with heart and excellence.
With exciting projects and opportunities ahead, we are seeking an exceptional Intermediate Civil Engineer - Stormwater to provide civil engineering design with a focus on stormwater for our clients in Auckland and across New Zealand. Your skills will also complement our team of water specialists, environmental engineers, hydraulic modellers and scientists in the fields of water infrastructure and land development.
What You'll Be Doing
- Stormwater design: Undertake hydrological and hydraulic assessments and design pipe networks, culverts, open channels, stormwater management devices and wetlands.
- Catchment planning and modelling: Interpret hydrological and hydraulic modelling outputs and translate findings into practical engineering solutions, including flood mitigation and infrastructure improvements.
- Environmental solutions: Develop integrated stormwater solutions that consider water quality, ecology, landscape, flood resilience and community outcomes.
- Consenting and approvals: Prepare technical assessments, engineering calculations, flood assessment reports, design reports and documentation to support resource consents and Engineering Approvals.
- Project delivery: Take ownership of assigned work, managing technical deliverables, budgets and programmes while maintaining strong relationships with clients and councils.
- Construction: Support construction delivery through site inspections, design clarification, contractor coordination and construction monitoring.
- Collaboration and mentoring: Work closely with other disciplines and provide technical support and guidance to graduate and junior engineers.
