Senior Civil Engineer CPEng

Job description

A multidisciplinary civil and infrastructure consultancy is seeking a Senior Civil Engineer (CPEng) to join their Auckland team. The firm is well regarded for delivering high-quality outcomes across land development, civil infrastructure, and transportation projects, with a strong emphasis on long-term client relationships and technical excellence.

In this role, you’ll lead civil design and technical delivery with a focus on land development and stormwater infrastructure. It’s well suited to a recently CPEng, technically driven engineer who wants to stay hands-on and avoid a purely project management pathway. You’ll take ownership of technical outputs, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to key engineering decisions, supported by experienced senior leaders in a collaborative environment.


About the Role

You’ll play a key role in delivering technically strong civil engineering solutions, particularly across land development and stormwater infrastructure projects in Auckland. Typical responsibilities include:
  • Technical civil design and review across land development projects
  • Stormwater and wastewater design and modelling
  • Authoring Producer Statements (Stormwater & Wastewater – E1 / G13)
  • Providing senior-level technical input across multiple project stages
  • Mentoring and supporting intermediate and junior engineers
  • Working closely with clients, councils, and internal stakeholders

About You
  • Approximately 7–10 years of civil engineering experience
  • CPEng (or very recently achieved)
  • Strong background in land development and stormwater design
  • Producer Statement author experience in Auckland (E1 / G13 highly desirable)
  • Recognised NZ Civil Engineering degree
  • Strong understanding of NZ design standards and consenting processes
  • Clear communicator who enjoys collaboration and technical leadership
  • A genuine interest in being a technical specialist, not a pure project manager


What’s on Offer
  • Salary band: $140,000 – $155,000 (negotiable based on experience)
  • Hybrid working environment
  • Strong focus on technical excellence and professional development
  • Supportive, people-first culture with real flexibility
  • Wellbeing benefits including additional leave and lifestyle perks
  • Opportunity to work on meaningful Auckland-based projects with long-term clients

If you’re a Senior Civil Engineer who enjoys staying hands-on technically, values quality engineering, and wants to be part of a consultancy where people genuinely matter, this could be a brilliant next step.
