**Mōu ake | About you**

Our Technical Directors come from a range of engineering backgrounds, united by their passion to make a real-world difference through their technical leadership, engineering, design, and project delivery skills and experiences. Joining this team will allow you to utilise your expertise and engineering abilities with like-minded peers, delivering complex electrical, transmission and distribution design solutions. You will be driven to make a long-term difference, supporting decarbonisation and electrification strategies across the power supply chain.

To be successful in this role, you will have specialist engineering, technical and delivery experience with a focus on transmission line, distribution and related projects.

How you work is important to Beca. Having the ability to manage multiple projects, be client and outcome focused, commercially minded, operate in times of ambiguity, coach and develop others with a collaborative personal approach, will be important. You will also be a relationship builder, able to work with other engineers collaboratively on projects, as well as with our clients. You will enjoy ‘picking up the phone’ as an approach to connect with clients, especially to problem solve on project site-specific design issues. You will also be passionate about learning from others, ready to listen, engage, support, and positively query situations with a focus on great project outcomes. We also like to have fun along the way, so a good sense of humour will hold you in good stead.

We welcome and invite applicants from diverse backgrounds, recognising the technical, design, project, delivery and people aspects this role covers.
