Lead the design and delivery of electrical building services packages across a diverse portfolio of projects.

Develop innovative, practical and high-quality electrical engineering solutions that meet client and project objectives.

Provide technical leadership throughout the project lifecycle, from concept design through detailed design and construction support.

Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver fully integrated building services solutions.

Review and oversee design documentation, calculations and technical deliverables to ensure excellence and compliance.

Experience within healthcare projects.

Experience working on aviation, transport or major infrastructure developments.

Familiarity with New Zealand building services standards and codes.

Experience leading design packages and mentoring junior engineers.

This is more than a building services role. It's an opportunity to shape the designs behind some of New Zealand's most important buildings and infrastructure projects.

You'll work on technically challenging projects where innovation, collaboration and engineering excellence come together to create lasting outcomes for clients and communities.

The projects are diverse. The technical challenges are complex. The opportunity to grow your influence and expertise is significant.
