Looking for your next big move in structural engineering?
Join a growing consultancy where the projects are exciting, the team is tight-knit, and the work you do has real national impact, especially across New Zealand’s evolving energy sector.
About the Company
This is a well-established New Zealand consultancy delivering high-quality engineering solutions across the energy and infrastructure sectors. With over 100 people across multiple offices, the business offers the scope and capability of a larger firm, but with a strong family feel and a genuine focus on people.
The structural team is growing (currently 19 and targeting 22 by early next year), with a steady pipeline of high-value projects, particularly in energy. If you're after stability, opportunity, and the chance to contribute to meaningful work—this could be the move you’ve been looking for.
About the Role
You'll step into a senior role within a collaborative structural team, working closely with clients across energy, utilities, and industrial sectors. You’ll have a strong mix of design delivery and oversight responsibilities—managing your own projects and mentoring others where appropriate.
You'll:
Deliver structural design solutions from concept through to construction
Review and guide design work across the team
Liaise with clients, contractors, and other engineering disciplines
Contribute to a range of exciting projects shaping NZ’s energy future
The role offers flexibility and autonomy, with the ability to be based in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, or Tauranga.
About You
You’re a seasoned structural engineer with 7+ years’ experience, ideally in energy or industrial, but we also have flexibility for someone coming from a commercial or residential background. You're confident in technical delivery, and can leave the client engagement to the rest of the team. You thrive in a team environment where knowledge is shared, and quality matters.
You’ll likely bring:
CPEng registration (or be working towards it)
Strong structural analysis and design capability
Familiarity with tools like MicroStation and/or AutoCAD
Great communication skills and a proactive approach to problem-solving
Why You’ll Want to Join

Has a clear growth path and a secure pipeline of projects
Offers flexibility, development opportunities, and work-life balance
