Job Description

Ready to take your engineering career to a major civil infrastructure project?

In preparation for an upcoming major civil infrastructure project in the Waikato, Downer is seeking expressions of interest from experienced Project Engineers and Site Engineers interested in being part of a significant future programme of works.

Works are anticipated to commence from January 2027, and we are starting to connect with experienced people who may be interested in future opportunities across our construction and engineering teams.

This is an opportunity to register your interest early and explore the possibility of contributing to a large-scale infrastructure project in the Waikato.

The opportunities We’re interested in hearing from experienced Project Engineers and Site Engineers with expertise across a range of civil disciplines, including:

  • Earthworks and ground improvements
  • Drainage and utilities
  • Pavements and surfacing
  • Bridges and structures
  • Box culverts
  • MSE walls

Whether your experience spans multiple disciplines or you’ve developed specialist expertise in a particular area, we’re keen to hear from engineers with strong technical capability and practical experience delivering complex civil construction works.

About you We’re looking for engineers who bring:

  • A relevant Civil Engineering qualification or equivalent
  • Experience within civil construction, roading or major infrastructure projects
  • Strong technical capability and an understanding of construction methodologies, quality requirements and engineering documentation
  • Experience coordinating subcontractors, construction activities and site requirements
  • Strong planning and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities
  • Clear communication and the ability to build effective relationships with project teams, subcontractors and stakeholders
  • A strong commitment to health, safety, quality and successful project delivery
  • A practical, solutions-focused approach to working in a complex construction environment

Experience on major roading or transport infrastructure projects would be an advantage. We also welcome interest from engineers with strong transferable experience across other complex civil construction projects.

Why Downer? At Downer, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We provide opportunities to work alongside experienced infrastructure professionals and contribute to projects that help connect communities and support New Zealand's transport network.

We are committed to creating an environment where our people can be successful, with a strong focus on safety, development and opportunities to grow your career across the wider Downer business.

Register your interest If you are considering your next move and would be interested in future construction or engineering opportunities in the Waikato, we would like to hear from you.

Submit your CV and tell us a little about your civil engineering experience, areas of technical expertise and the type of opportunity you’re interested in.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
