Job description

One of New Zealand’s oldest and most respected multidisciplinary consultancies is recruiting for a Stormwater/Technical Lead to join their Auckland Team.
  
A true multidisciplinary, this market leader provides expertise across Infrastructure, Architecture, Engineering, Land Development, Environmental and Project Management.
  
With over 80 years of experience, this consultancy has one of the most diverse client bases in the country and is proud to offer their staff the opportunity to work on an envious mixture of Infrastructure projects across both the public and private sectors across a seriously unique range of “asset classes”. Notably across the industrial, commercial, health, education, leisure and sport sectors; not to mention, residential.

You'll be working with some of the best in this business and will be perfectly positioned to benefit from the impending "Infrastructure Spend" required to keep New Zealand Livable. 

About the Role:
  • Lead the full design process for stormwater infrastructure projects
  • Develop hydraulic models and design strategies, ensuring cost-effective and sustainable outcomes
  • Oversee construction implementation, providing technical direction and project oversight
  • Work with public sector clients, balancing design flexibility with regulatory compliance
  • Diagnose complex stormwater challenges and present multiple viable solutions
About You:
  • 10–15 years of stormwater engineering experience
  • Strong hydraulic design skills—not just modeling
  • Ability to work with first principles, designing in challenging environments
  • Excellent knowledge of construction methods, risk management, and contract law
  • Proven experience working with public sector clients and large-scale tenders
What’s on Offer:
  • Leadership role with influence over high-profile infrastructure projects
