What they need
Project Engineer - 3 Waters
South Auckland | Up to $140K + Bonus + Vehicle
Water & Wastewater Infrastructure | Ready to Hire Now
Want to work on complex infrastructure projects where you can actually see the impact you're making?
Join an established, highly regarded medium-sized civil contractor with more than 20 years in the industry and a serious track record in water infrastructure.
With 60+ water and wastewater projects delivered, this team has built its reputation around solving complex engineering problems across water and wastewater treatment plants, pump stations, pipelines, heavy civil structures and multidisciplinary infrastructure.
They’re now looking for a Project Engineer to join the team on a major wastewater project in the South Auckland region.
This is a smaller, agile contractor where you'll be known for what you deliver.
You'll work closely with experienced senior people, have genuine input into project delivery and gain broad exposure across civil, structural, mechanical and electrical packages.
Rather than being boxed into one small part of a major project, you'll get involved across the full delivery lifecycle and have the opportunity to build toward Project Management.
You'll work closely with the Project Manager and site teams, taking responsibility across:
- Planning, programming and forecasting
- Site delivery and coordination
- Subcontractor management
- QA and technical delivery
- Procurement and commercial management
- Variations and claims
- Client and stakeholder relationships
- Driving programme and project outcomes
3 Waters experience is important for this one.
Ideally you'll have:
- 3+ years' civil construction experience
- Experience delivering water, wastewater or 3 Waters infrastructure
- Water or wastewater treatment plant exposure would be a big advantage
- Strong site-based civil construction experience
- Exposure to concrete structures, pipelines, pump stations or multidisciplinary infrastructure
- A relevant engineering qualification
- A practical approach and willingness to take ownership
What's On Offer?
- Up to $140,000 salary
- Annual performance bonus
- Company vehicle
- Accommodation support available if required
- Work on technically complex water/wastewater infrastructure
- Exposure across civil, structural, mechanical and electrical packages
- Direct access to experienced senior leaders
- More ownership and visibility within a medium-sized contractor
- Strong pipeline of infrastructure work
- Genuine progression toward Project Management
This is a great opportunity if you enjoy the complexity and scale of major infrastructure but want the agility, visibility and broader responsibility that comes with working for a successful mid-sized contractor.
They're ready to hire now.
