About the Role
As a Mechanical Engineer within our Building Services team, you’ll be involved in the design and delivery of mechanical services across a broad range of projects throughout New Zealand.

Work alongside a range of disciplines on integrated building designs
Strengthen your client relationships and broaden your project experience
Continue your professional development, whether that’s towards Chartership or the next stage of your career
