  • Broad range of interesting projects
  • Leaders in technical expertise and quality
  • Central Auckland Location

For nearly seven decades, Holmes has led the engineering industry in invention, creativity and quality. During that time, we've worked right across New Zealand and the world, delivering premium structural and civil solutions to thousands of landmark projects. Our expert civil designers have played a huge part in our success.

With a growing portfolio of projects, the search is on for a Senior Civil Designer to join our Infrastructure team in Auckland. Our work includes site layouts, earthworks, access roads, water, wastewater and storm water networks, along with pumps and pipework design. We're also experts in pavement design, creating robust platforms that stand the test of time.

Working on projects across the country, you'll be part of a close-knit, experienced team delivering a diverse and interesting civil engineering portfolio. This role will see you working closely alongside Engineers and other Civil Designers on exciting live projects and producing drawings and design calculations within AutoCAD and Civil 3D.

Your sound knowledge of engineering principles, materials and construction practices will ideally be matched with a relevant engineering diploma. With a strong background in detailing, you'll have experience in Civil 3D and AutoCAD and be familiar with three- waters, development, pavements and roading projects. Whilst not essential, experience in hydraulic and hydrologic modelling would be preferred. An aptitude for leadership, you'll be an excellent communicator. We're looking for someone who is a stickler for detail, can manage time well and loves stepping up to deadlines and challenges.

Hard work's a huge part of what's got us where we are today, but it's not the final word. You'll have plenty of fun working with positive, motivated people who love delivering exceptional projects. We'll provide you a great place to work as part of a motivated and supportive team, with excellent learning and career progression—and a chance to work on some of the country's most exciting projects.
