Description

Are you ready to make a significant impact on a transformative project? Fletcher Construction is seeking a skilled Site Engineer to join our team for Te Wai Takamori o Te Awa Kairangi (Te Awa Kairangi).


About the Role

As a Site Engineer your primary focus will be as a Permit Issuer for the Te Awa Kairangi Alliance project.  You will play a vital role in ensuring the safety and compliance of all site activities and be responsible for authorising and managing work permits, particularly for tasks involving hazardous conditions. 

  • Review potential hazards associated with proposed work and implement necessary safety controls
  • Issue permits for specific tasks (e.g., excavation) under defined safety conditions
  • Clearly communicate permit conditions and safety requirements to team members
  • Conduct site inspections to ensure compliance with permit terms
  • Maintain accurate records of issued permits, risk assessments, and any incidents
  • Guide team members and contractors on permit-to-work procedures and safety protocols

What you’ll bring to the role

  • Academic or professional qualification in engineering or a relevant field
  • Certification in workplace safety or permit-to-work systems (advantageous)
  • At least 2 years of relevant construction and utilities experience 
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to work under pressure and develop effective solutions to problems
  • Proficiency in digital engineering tools (CAD, GPS) and MS Office applications

About Te Awa Kairangi 

Te Awa Kairangi Alliance is delivering transport, walking and cycling improvements to the SH2 Melling interchange and rail station, as part of a wider flood protection and city revitalisation programme. 

Fletcher Construction is working with Alliance  partners AECOM, NZTA, Taranaki Whānui and Ngāti Toa Rangatira to deliver this transformative project.  Design is underway and construction is due to commence in late 2025.


About Us

We pride ourselves on safely delivering a wide variety of construction and infrastructure projects for the people of New Zealand and the South Pacific. But our power is not in what we do, it’s in who we are. We are a team of 3,700 people working under three brands: Fletcher Construction, Higgins, and Brian Perry Civil. We may be a big team, but we haven’t lost sight of what really matters: looking after our people.

We recognise that treating our people well is only partially about what happens during work hours. It’s also about the impact we have outside of work hours too. That’s why we have incredible learning and development opportunities for staff and their families, industry-leading parental leave, support systems and generous corporate discounts.


Interested? Apply Now! 

We are actively looking to fill this role and encourage your early application. Applications are reviewed regularly, and we reserve the right to remove the advertisement before the advertised closing date.

Research shows that females and minority groups don’t always apply for roles unless they match 100% of the requirements. So, if this role is of interest but you feel you don’t quite fit, we encourage you to apply anyway. We are enriched by many nationalities, languages, religions, customs, and lifestyles. We are proud of our diversity and see it as one of the things that make us better together.
