Is the engineering and construction recruitment market flat?
That is not what we are seeing across our current North Island briefs.
24 roles, most newly created.
We are recruiting for 24 roles, the vast majority newly created, with consultancies and contractors carrying strong forward workloads.
Demand is weighted towards the more senior end of the market. Employers are becoming more selective, and rightly so. They need people who can take ownership, exercise sound technical judgement and strengthen delivery.
What we are seeing.
Geotechnical
Seven roles across Tauranga, Hamilton, Northland and Gisborne, with Intermediate to Senior salaries in Tauranga and Hamilton from $120k.
Civil, water and transport
Land development, water and transport roles, including CPEng and Associate-level positions.
Structural
Associate and CPEng-level roles in Hamilton and Tauranga.
Construction and delivery
Roles across heavy civil, infrastructure contracts and project management, including a Project Engineer role at $120–140k.
Surveying and drafting
A Lead Licensed Cadastral Surveyor role in Western Bay of Plenty, and a Civil Drafter role.
What this means for senior professionals
Several appointments offer the opportunity to lead a discipline, build a team or take a meaningful step up.
What this means for employers
The priority is not simply adding capacity. It is securing people who can take ownership and strengthen delivery.
