Mō te tūranga | About the role

We’re inviting expressions of interest from civil engineers keen to join Fulton Hogan’s Christchurch team as future Site Engineer opportunities arise.

You’ll work closely with project teams and site crews to turn plans into well-executed construction work. Your role will combine practical site engineering, coordination, quality assurance and cost tracking, helping deliver work safely, to specification and within programme and budget.

This is an expression of interest rather than an immediate vacancy. We’re keen to connect with people who enjoy being close to the work, take ownership and want to develop within a practical, approachable team.

• Support the planning, coordination and delivery of site works to meet programme, cost and quality targets.
• Prepare and maintain site documentation, including quality records, as-builts, reports and work packs.
• Monitor site progress, identify issues early, and work with crews and leaders to keep delivery on track.
• Liaise with subcontractors, suppliers and internal teams to coordinate resources and day-to-day activities.
• Champion safe work practices and help ensure work is completed to Fulton Hogan standards.
