Christchurch, New Zealand Kirk Roberts Consulting Full time

Are you a third-yearStructural Engineering student ready to swap lecture halls for live projects and theory for teamwork? Good news - we've got just the thing to give your summer (and your career) a serious boost.

We're a multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy working across Structural, Geotechnical, Civil, Fire and Environmental Engineering. We also have an Architecture team, meaning we offer the full design package.

This summer, we're offering one curious, capable and driven student the chance to join us for a 12-week internship programme that's designed to give you a genuine insight into working for a multi-disciplinary consultancy.

What you'll be doing
  • Rotations across all disciplines: You'll spend time with each of our engineering teams, our architects, and even our admin team (yes, they're a crucial part of how everything gets delivered).
  • Hands-on project involvement: You'll contribute to real work on real projects.
  • Mentorship and support: Work alongside experienced engineers who are keen to share what they know.
  • Behind the scenes: Understand how all the pieces of the project come together in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary environment.
  • Career clarity: You'll leave with experience that helps shape your future.

Who should apply

We're making this opportunity exclusive to ensure we can give the right candidate the best possible experience. To be eligible, you must:

  • Currently studying a Bachelor of Engineering (Civil or Structural)
  • Third year of study (not first or second - don't worry, there'll be other opportunities in future)
  • Be enthusiastic, proactive, and keen to learn
  • A strong communicator, you'll be working with a wide range of people

About you

You're not just after a summer job. You want to explore how a consultancy really works, experience a mix of disciplines, and build a foundation for your career. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

Start date: Flexible – likely to commence late November 2025 or January 2026
