Port Marlborough is a diverse and forward-thinking regional port and marina business, supporting a wide range of shipping, marine and infrastructure activities across Waitohi/Picton, Havelock and the Marlborough Sounds. With a vision to lead the way as an environmentally restorative port, Port Marlborough is committed to creating lasting value for the region, its people and the environment.
Guided by five strategic pillars – People, Planet, Prosperity, Partnerships and Performance – Port Marlborough is a values-driven organisation where Hauora, Kaitiakitanga, Mahi Tahi, Pono and Kairangatira shape the way the team works every day.
About the role
Reporting to the Asset Manager, this is a broad and rewarding engineering role that combines asset management, capital project delivery and day-to-day engineering support across Port Marlborough’s diverse infrastructure portfolio.
Working across the full project lifecycle, you will develop practical design solutions, manage projects from concept through to completion, supervise works on site, and help ensure the Port’s infrastructure continues to operate safely and efficiently. You’ll work closely with consultants, contractors, operational teams and external stakeholders to deliver sustainable, fit-for-purpose infrastructure that supports the Port’s ongoing growth.
With continued investment planned across the Port, including major ferry infrastructure developments, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a wide variety of engineering projects while also responding to operational and reactive engineering requirements as they arise. No two days are the same.
About you
We’re looking for a qualified Civil Engineer who enjoys balancing technical engineering with practical project delivery. You’ll be equally comfortable on site as you are in the office, bringing sound engineering judgement and a collaborative approach to solving problems.
To be successful, you will bring:
- A tertiary qualification in Civil Engineering (or equivalent).
- An understanding of infrastructure asset management and whole-of-life asset thinking.
- Experience delivering civil infrastructure or capital works projects.
- Practical site experience, including contractor supervision and construction oversight.
- Strong project and contract management capability.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships with consultants, contractors and operational teams.
- A proactive approach, plenty of drive and initiative, and a good sense of humour.
This is an outstanding opportunity for a Civil Engineer to work across a diverse mix of infrastructure assets and capital projects. You’ll join a business investing in its future while enjoying the support of an experienced team and the lifestyle that comes with living and working in one of New Zealand’s most spectacular regions.
Port Marlborough is committed to providing a safe working environment and will undertake a pre-employment medical assessment, including drug and alcohol screening.
