• Job Description

  Req#: req12877

  Developing and implementing solutions to complex problems, our team is helping shape the world we live in across the Asia Pacific region – from highways to airports, from buildings and reservoirs to bridges and tunnels, including landfill design and waste management projects. Together we are transforming our world. We are passionate about what we do and the culture we have developed. The more diverse we are, the better our ideas, strategies, and client solutions will be, and the more we will better represent our world. We know that we are stronger when people from different backgrounds and perspectives work together. We are committed to growing an environment where our people have equal opportunity to build a career that reflects their ability and passions and believe in their potential, feel they belong and can be their best selves.

  We are proudly employee-owned, and after a century of operation, employee ownership remains key to our future. It underpins our positive, purpose-driven, and growth-oriented culture; it sets us apart in our markets and gives meaning to our social contract. We are accountable, we have each other's backs, we don’t let each other down, and we strive for excellence in everything we do.

  The Opportunity - Te Kāinga Rua

  Our Geotechnical team works across geotechnical engineering, engineering geology and hydrogeology. As a national team of over 130 people, we are excited for the opportunities ahead of us and are well-placed to help Aotearoa advance and protect our world for future generations. Together we make things happen on projects throughout Aotearoa, Australia, the Pacific and South-East Asia. We all go to work to make every day better in some way. We know that our work is more than foundations, ground and water, it's about developing sustainable solutions that support our communities and a healthy environment as well as continuous improvement — by doing things better every day, we make everyday better.

  We’re looking for an Engineering Geologist to join us in Auckland. Every day will be different with new challenges, but overall you will be responsible to:

  • Apply your knowledge and judgment to plan and deliver projects.
  • Produce plans, reports, proposals and specifications to meet client requirements.
  • Direct and undertake desk-based assessments of sites or site areas, including studies of aerial photographs and research and review of published data, to guide project investigation and design.
  • Scope and manage field investigations, including commissioning of drilling crews and organising laboratory testing to expand the understanding of a site or region or as a basis for hazard or risk evaluation.
  • Direct and undertake field investigations, including field mapping, the direction of drilling crews, detailed logging of boreholes, sampling and monitoring, hand auguring and logging of test pits.
  • Develop 2D and 3D ground models using available data to inform problem definition and design.
  • Undertake computer-aided data analysis and evaluation, e.g. slope stability modelling.
  • Carry out field reconnaissance of sites featuring natural hazards, e.g. slips, provide advice and develop designs for remediation solutions.
  • Build strong internal and external relationships and assist senior members of the business to secure additional business opportunities.
