At ENGEO, we are looking to fill our early careers positions with highly motivated and enthusiastic graduates.

• Aged care facilities and hospitals
• Natural hazard and disaster prevention and remediation, including landslide stabilisation, rockfall mitigation, flood recovery, and more

As a graduate, you’ll support a range of projects by contributing technical input under the guidance of experienced professionals. You’ll gain hands-on experience through fieldwork, analysis, and reporting while working collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams

• Field investigations & analysis:
  Assisting with site investigations, sampling, data collection. Contributing to the characterisation and assessment of site conditions, hazards, and constraints, and supporting the development of practical recommendations.
• Project delivery & collaboration:
  Supporting project delivery through field coordination, data management, and preparation of technical outputs, while working with colleagues, clients, and contractors.

Many of our graduates also have opportunities to work on projects outside their home region! You could travel to other parts of New Zealand, as well as Australia, the Pacific, and over to California!

Our culture is our strategy, and we proudly put our people first. We believe great outcomes come from a happy, supported team - not the other way around! We keep hierarchy light and give you the tools you need to succeed. You’ll enjoy a flat structure, minimal hierarchy, and autonomy paired with plenty of support.

You’ll work on challenging projects which will stretch your abilities, you’ll have access to internal and external training, and experience career growth to new heights. We value integrity, collaboration, and bringing positive energy to everything we do.

If you’re curious, motivated, and keen to learn in a hands on consulting environment, we’d love to hear from you.
