We have a portfolio of work in the Auckland region needing the skills and experience of a senior engineer based in our Auckland CBD office. Primarily a technical delivery role this vacancy has come about because we support our people in developing and challenging themselves through doing the type of work they enjoy. Experience and knowledge is remaining inhouse but has created an opportunity for someone else to take the reins of the Team.
What we can offer
- The opportunity to lead and mentor less experienced engineers.
- A competitive hourly rate relevant to experience.
- Minimum of 40 hours per week.
- Pay for every hour worked – you’ll be on wages not salary.
- A friendly, inclusive work environment with flexible work arrangements.
About the role:
This is a hands-on engineering role which also leads a young and hard-working team who all appreciate guidance and help to get their projects completed on time and on budget. You’ll be part of the Civil Structural national team with the opportunity to contribute to local and national projects. Our Auckland based team specialise in coastal infrastructure, urban and rural infrastructure including roading revetments, slip remediation and commercial and residential development.
LDE are a solid company with a presence across the motu and the scope available for professional growth and development through client and project involvement is there for the taking. Our flexible approach to working hours is highly valued by all who work at LDE.
The role is office based and while any WFH component would be minimal, the option is there to be taken as appropriate.
About you:
You will be comfortable working on a diverse range of project types with an interest in geology and structures. You will be able to demonstrate initiative and confidence in decision making and be confident in dealing directly with clients and managing projects of varying sizes.
