- A full, clean, New Zealand drivers license (class 1) is essential.
- Completed level 2 NCEA+
- Similar work experience is preferred but not essential.
- Computer literate, especially in Microsoft Excel and Word.
- Good team player and personality.
- Must be willing to get hands dirty and enjoy working outdoors.
- High standard and quality of paperwork.
- Excellent time management skills.
- Good communication skills.
- Troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
- A desire to develop and share knowledge.
- Someone who can get things happening, a proactive initiator.
- An appreciation of the importance of quality management systems and processes.

**Our benefits**:

- Exposure to a variety of professional experts and projects; Geotechnics is involved in a number of large-scale projects, as well as smaller community-focused projects.
- A highly supportive team environment where you are encouraged to pave your own career path that caters to your ambitions.
- $500 annual well-being allowance and well-being programme.
- An active social club.
- Free fruit baskets and morning teas (we love morning teas at Geotechnics).

**Who we are**:
Geotechnics Ltd is a specialist materials testing company providing laboratory
- and field-testing services to the geotechnical, civil and environmental engineering industries. We have offices in Auckland, Pukekohe, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, Nelson and Christchurch.
