Christchurch, New Zealand Aurecon Group Full time

We are looking for a Senior Civil Engineer with a focus on MSQA to join the team to oversee the supervision and monitoring of infrastructure construction sites which includes roads, rail, civil structures and stormwater/wastewater assets.

You will be supported by our local, national, and international design teams who you will build key relationships with. Your ability to quickly understand the design concept and translate these to the site team is a significant attribute that you will bring.

What will you do?

We know the work we do is vital in assisting our world’s economic development and it’s the depth of knowledge of our people that really sets us apart. Here are the key things you will do to ‘bring ideas to life’:

- Be a positive and effective communicator who builds strong relationships, sets clear expectations, and works with others to achieve success
- Enjoy moving between multiple different sites and the office, working on a number of projects at any one time to solve problems, review design changes, coordinate RFI responses, and represent Aurecon at site meetings.
- Manage quality control and inspections to ensure construction outcomes line up with design standards and local standards
- Sharing your experience of working within New Zealand engineering codes, standards, and practices within your diverse team

What can you bring to the team?

Firstly, you will share our genuine passion for re-imagining engineering and be someone that actively pursues continuous learning to help shape the future.

As an established Engineer, you will have experience working on general civil, water and infrastructure as well as the construction or contract management experience that comes with this. You'll have relevant experience overseeing the construction within the roads, rail, civil structures and stormwater/wastewater asset area. You will also hold a Waka Kotahi Engineers Representative qualifications (or work towards obtaining).

Finally, we value that each of our team members brings something different to Aurecon. We look for people who have had a broad range of experiences throughout their career and can demonstrate how they have worked as part of a team to bring ideas to life. Does that sound like you?
