Engineering Coordinator

We’ve got your back - and your career, too.

Are you an experienced Project Engineer who enjoys getting involved before construction starts? Curious about constructability, pricing, estimating, and solving problems early, not just solving them on site?

At HEB, we’re looking for an Engineering Coordinator to strengthen the front end of our Tauranga projects and then transition into a site‑based Project Engineer role as construction gets underway. This is a great opportunity to broaden your capability, deepen your understanding of project set‑up, and shape how work is delivered from day one.

About the Role

As an Engineering Coordinator, you’ll work closely with our pre‑construction, estimating, commercial, and delivery teams to support projects during the early planning and set‑up phase. You’ll bring a practical, delivery‑focused engineering mindset to constructability reviews, pricing inputs, and troubleshooting, helping ensure projects are set up for success before they commence.

You’ll be office‑based in Tauranga initially, then transition into a Project Engineer or similar site role once construction commences, maintaining continuity from front end to delivery. This is not an engineering management role. Instead, it’s a development‑focused opportunity for someone who wants to expand their front‑end capability while staying close to delivery.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Support constructability and buildability reviews during tendering and pre‑construction
• Contribute engineering input into estimating, pricing, and cost planning
• Assist with methodology development, staging, sequencing, and risk identification
• Work alongside commercial and construction teams to shape scope and delivery approaches
• Review drawings and documentation with a practical, solutions‑focused lens
• Help identify and resolve potential issues before construction begins
• Transition into a site‑based Project Engineer role during the construction phase

About You

You’re a capable, hands‑on Project Engineer who enjoys thinking beyond the immediate task and wants to understand how and why projects are put together.

You’ll bring:

• A degree in Civil Engineering (or similar)
• Proven experience as a Project Engineer on civil or infrastructure projects
• Strong interest in constructability, estimating, pricing, and early project planning
• A practical, problem‑solving mindset
• Confidence working across engineering, commercial, and delivery teams
• A desire to grow your capability at the front end

Why HEB? Because We’ve Got Your Back.

At HEB, we don’t just deliver major infrastructure - we develop our people. Our “We’ve got your back” means you’ll be:

• Supported to grow your capability and broaden your experience
• Trusted to contribute early and take ownership
• Backed by collaborative teams and accessible leadership
• Given meaningful exposure to how projects are shaped and delivered
• Set up for long‑term career progression, not just your next role

Backed by the global strength of the VINCI Construction network and grounded in New Zealand delivery, HEB offers the best of both worlds: local leadership with global smarts.
