Civil Engineer

At Oji
Fibre Solutions – Forest Resources (Kinleith Mill), our manufacturing operation
is committed to the efficient and complete use of sustainably sourced virgin
wood-fibre from renewable forestry resources.  We take pride in producing
world-class market kraft pulps, which are used in a wide range of boards and
specialty products around the world.

About the
role

As our new Civil Project Engineer, you'll play a key part in
managing capital and non-routine maintenance projects that drive reliability,
safety, and performance across the mill. You'll work closely with our Civil
Engineering Team Leader and existing Civil Engineer, collaborating with
operations, maintenance, and external partners to deliver high-value outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Scope, cost, and execute brownfield projects using a rigorous
  Front-End Loading (stage-gate) process.
• Lead risk management, commissioning, and stakeholder engagement.

a BE or NZCE qualification (or equivalent experience) with over five years in
engineering across major process industries such as pulp & paper,
petrochemical, mining, and metals. With proven expertise in brownfield project
delivery, maintenance environments, and a strong grasp of engineering codes,
regulations, contract administration, and budgeting, you bring both technical
depth and regulatory awareness. You will be customer-focused and
results-driven, with clear communication skills and a strong commitment to
integrity. While familiarity with Major Hazard Facility legislation and the
