5 months ago


Wellington City, New Zealand Aurecon Group Full time

We have a full-time, permanent role available for a Lead Civil Engineer to join the Roads team in Wellington.

We are looking for an experienced Lead Engineer who is capable of leading highway design teams delivering complex design solutions under a range of contractual conditions. This role requires an excellent understanding of the design process and the ability to motivate and lead teams of people. You will work closely with other civil disciplines, providing digital and innovative solutions to our clients. There will be an opportunity to work on some of the most exciting projects in New Zealand.

Here are the key things you will do to ‘bring ideas to life’:

- Lead the highway corridor design aspects of projects from concept through to detailed design, ensuring that they are suitable for tender and construction
- Assist in the mentorship and guidance of team members
- Build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders
- Be part of a supportive team that works together to meet our client’s goals

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. We are looking for a qualified civil engineer with a demonstrated experience delivering complex design solutions.

You will need to possess:

- Experience and an in-depth understanding of delivering highway elements within the delivery of projects
- An understanding of local NZ standards
- The ability to lead multi-disciplinary teams and be comfortable communicating with clients, contractors and the wider team

In return you will receive the support and opportunities you need to develop both your technical and soft skills to further your career, in a diverse and inclusive environment.

Our Aurecon Attributes describe the types of people we bring together for clients. We don’t expect you to have all eight of the attributes, but one that is unique to you.

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?

- Are you driven by the opportunity to work on some of the most challenging and complex projects around the world and to learn from the best?
