A Different Kind of Structural Engineering Role
This is a unique opportunity for a Chartered Structural Engineer to work across a diverse group of related companies, including an architectural practice, construction firm and a light-gauge steel business.

Unlike a traditional consultancy position, you will primarily deliver structural engineering services for internal projects. You’ll work closely with architects, designers, construction professionals and steel specialists from concept through to completion.

The successful candidate must be a Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng) with proven experience across commercial, residential and light-gauge steel structures.

Benefits

• Salary of up to $150,000, depending on experience
• Company vehicle
• Relocation assistance available for the right person
• Varied commercial and residential projects
• Predominantly internal project work
• Work directly alongside architectural and steel specialists
• Greater involvement throughout the complete project lifecycle
• Stable position within an established group of companies
• Opportunity to influence engineering standards, systems and design outcomes

The Role

• Providing structural engineering expertise across the group’s projects
• Designing and reviewing commercial and residential structures
• Engineering light-gauge steel framing and structural systems
• Completing structural calculations, specifications and technical documentation
• Reviewing architectural and construction drawings
• Providing producer statements and engineering certification
• Coordinating with architects, designers, steel specialists and construction teams
• Developing practical, efficient and buildable structural solutions
• Supporting projects from initial concept through to construction
• Undertaking site inspections and resolving technical issues
• Ensuring designs comply with the New Zealand Building Code and relevant standards
• Contributing to the ongoing development of internal engineering systems and processes
