Careers Made Possible at Brian Perry Civil

Ready to take the next step in your career? Join a team that thrives on collaboration and bold thinking, delivering complex civil projects that shape communities and protect environments. Here, your ideas matter, your growth is supported, and your work leaves a lasting impact.

About the Role

As a Geotechnical Engineer in our Ground Engineering team, you’ll work across concept and detailed design, helping shape practical ground‑engineering solutions for projects throughout Aotearoa. You’ll be part of a collaborative in‑house design group that values curiosity, clear thinking, and supporting each other to do meaningful work.

Develop pile designs, temporary works designs, and construction methodologies from early concept through to delivery
Prepare design documentation that meets project specifications, industry standards, and internal quality processes before issuing IFC drawings
Support technical tender documentation when alternative permanent works are proposed, outlining rationale and design differences clearly
Work closely with Project, New Business, and site teams to ensure designs are buildable, safe, and well‑integrated with delivery requirements
When based on site, provide design expertise without taking over project engineers’ temporary works responsibilities, ensuring clarity of roles and safe processes
Build constructive working relationships across engineering disciplines, suppliers, and reviewers to deliver coordinated and practical design solutions

What You’ll Bring

Tertiary qualification in engineering and working towards CPEng
Experience in geotechnical or ground‑engineering design, including temporary works and/or foundation design (NZ experience beneficial)
Familiarity with relevant structural and geotechnical analysis software, standards, and design processes
Ability to communicate clearly with colleagues across disciplines and at different stages of the project lifecycle
A thoughtful, methodical approach to assessing options, identifying risks, and proposing practical solutions
Capability to manage and organise your own design workflow, coordinating inputs from other designers and specialists as required
A collaborative mindset — someone who listens well, shares knowledge, and contributes to a fair and inclusive team culture
