Ground Recruitment is a Pty Ltd company established in July 2022. It exclusively provides highly specialised permanent recruitment services and high-performance coaching to geotechnical engineers, geologists and select clients across Australia and New Zealand.

This client is a well-known and respected employee-owned company with offices in New Zealand and Asia Pacific. They have a national team of around 130 people involved with many of New Zealand's iconic projects.

This company's Technical Director (Geotechnical Engineering) is based in the Hamilton office and is well known to the Director of Ground Recruitment as they previously worked in the same company for 5 years. He will be the initial contact for this position in Tauranga.

To be put forward to the client for the position of Geotechnical Engineer, you will ideally be able to demonstrate that you have previous experience scoping and running small to medium-sized ground investigations. It would be best if you were building on your understanding of the local ground conditions, sampling collection methods, drilling techniques, logging, test pitting, lab scheduling, OH&S, proposal writing, project management, interpreting ground models, and report writing of technical memos, factual and interpretative reports. Exposure to construction support would be beneficial too.

From a design perspective, you should have had some exposure to software packages such as Plaxis 2d & 3d, Slide 2d, Settle 3d, CPet-IT, and Wallap and be able to explain your project involvement and your level of software proficiency.

This is a fantastic opportunity if you are energised by being part of a larger group and working closely with senior staff.

To be put forward for this role, you should show have a BE (Civil) or ME (Geotechnical).

If you would like to find out more about this position, please apply, and our Director will contact you to provide you with more information about the client, the role and the benefits.

Our client is running several overseas campaigns and as such has asked that we don't refer any candidates who require sponsorship at this stage
