Just imagine your future with us

Innovation, eminence and digital are at the heart of everything we do. Are you excited about the future?

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? We are.

Diversity is at the core of everything we do. We work together to create a culture based on respect, trust and inclusiveness. Our differences are what fuel our creativity.

We embrace flexible working and have embedded this into our culture at Aurecon. This flexibility enables this role to be carried out while working from home, as we continue to put the safety of our people and their families first.

What will you do?

You’ll be part of our New Zealand Transport team based in our Auckland office. Our team works on a range of projects, providing detailed designs delivered for government agency clients and Contractor partners.

We are looking for an experienced Design Manager who is capable of leading large multidisciplinary 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 large teams of people.

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’:

- Lead design delivery for major New Zealand infrastructure projects from Auckland
- Liaise effectively with clients and contractors,
- Explore cutting edge technology and techniques - in particular digital engineering
- Take an active role in helping develop business with clients
- 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-imaging engineering and be someone that actively pursues continuous learning to help shape the future. You’ll have several years’ experience in a similar role, an engineering, qualification and experience with complex design delivery. You will have experience with OpenRoads software.

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?
