In this role, you will regularly provide quality engineering advice and technical expertise on flood and erosion risk management to a wide range of groups, organisations, and the community for regional plans, strategies, policy and guideline development. You will also support resource consent processing and provide compliance advice to a high standard. Initial support will be available if you are still developing in this area.
You will undertake hydrologic and hydraulic investigations and deliver best-in-class engineering design in various river, drainage, coastal and soil conservation activities. You will also produce engineering reports, tender and contract documentation, and sometimes oversee the completion of engineering works and projects. You will support flood forecasting and flood response activities as an active member of the flood management team.
You will also have the opportunity to undertake specialist engineering projects where required.

Ideally, the position would be located in our Tauranga office to provide maximum exposure to the Environmental Engineering Team Leader, however, as we have offices in Tauranga, Whakatane and Rotorua, and great ICT systems to keep us connected, we are open to alternatives; let us know what that could look like for you.
O pumanawa | Your skills and experience Ideally, you will have a recognised degree in Environmental Engineering or equivalent engineering discipline with at least three years of demonstrated engineering knowledge associated with hydrology, hydrologic and hydraulic studies, and innovative and effective management approaches of rivers, canals, floodplains, lakes and coastal processes to reduce flood risk as well as a general understanding of environmental effects and New Zealand specific environmental regulations.
However, if you have a Diploma in Environmental Engineering rather than a degree, and you can demonstrate at least ten years of relevant experience, drive, commitment and passion for your work, we also want to hear from you.
Of course you will also need to possess good computing ability (MS Office, ArcGIS), and it would be a real advantage if you were working towards membership of Engineering New Zealand (MEngNZ).
