Te kōwhiringa | The Opportunity


We’re looking for an experienced Project Engineer to join the Tararua Alliance Delivery Team and play a key role in delivering civil infrastructure projects across the Tararua District.


This is an opportunity to step into a hands on project delivery role where you’ll be involved from project planning and design through to construction and completion.

Reporting to the Programme Project Manager, you’ll be responsible for supporting the planning, development and delivery of a diverse portfolio of infrastructure projects across the network.


This is more than a desk based engineering role. You’ll be actively involved in site delivery, managing contracts, monitoring project performance and helping ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to a high standard.


Key responsibilities will include;


  • Coordinate the day to day delivery of civil infrastructure projects
  • Manage contractors, subcontractors and suppliers on site
  • Monitor safety, quality, cost and programme performance
  • Assist in developing and maintaining project programmes
  • Review designs, specifications and technical documentation
  • Prepare scopes of work for subcontracts and suppliers
  • Liaise with Council representative, utility providers, consultants and contractors
  • Ensure compliance with Health, Safety, Environmental and Quality requirements


Nga pūkenga matua | Important Skills

  • Tertiary qualification in Civil Engineering, Engineering Technology or a related discipline
  • Minimum 5 years’ experience within civil construction, infrastructure or project delivery environments.
  • Experience coordinating contractors and subcontractors
  • Experience delivering projects from planning through to construction
  • Experience in local government, transport infrastructure or Alliance environments
