This is an extremely dynamic and varied role, in which you’ll work closely with the Team Leader Design & Draughting, Senior Design Engineers and Associate Design Engineers, utilising design software alongside technical skills and theoretical best practice to bring transportation related design briefs to life.

Strong relationship management skills are also key - you’ll be liaising with external contractors, as well as asset managers, project managers and senior stakeholders to manage expectations and ensure desired outcomes are met.

**This is a pivotal time to join Napier City Council’s Infrastructure team, with exposure to a wide variety of projects and mentorship in place. Whether you’re recently qualified, a current Associate Engineer, or looking to move into a Design Engineer role, we want to hear from you.**

**This role is for you if you have**:

- Degree in Civil Engineering, Diploma in Civil Engineering or NZCE (Civil) or similar
- Experience using design software for computation and design
- Understanding of civil engineering and land surveying practices and principles
