About The Project
The Ōtaki to North of Levin (Ō2NL) highway will dramatically improve safety, resilience, and efficiency, while increasing transport choices for a growing population. The project is being delivered in partnership with NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, Muaūpoko Tribal Authority, local hapū of Ngāti Raukawa ki te Tonga, and Horowhenua District Council.
This is a transformative infrastructure project being delivered using a two-alliance model. Our shared project principles include treading lightly on the whenua, building strong partnerships, and delivering an enduring legacy. We’re looking for great people to join us on this unique journey.
About The Role
We are looking for a Project Engineer with a green thumb, to join the McConnell Dowell Whānau, working on the Ōtaki to North of Levin (Ō2NL) project.
As a key member of the Civils team, you will ensure effective planning, coordination and execution of all landscaping activities aligned with the South Alliance construction programme.
You’ll work closely with industry experts, iwi partners, ecologists, engineers, and local communities to ensure work is completed safely, to spec, and in line with project principles and environmental goals.
Key Responsibilities
We know that great people come from all kinds of backgrounds. If you have transferable skills, a great attitude, and the drive to contribute to a high-performing project—we want to hear from you.
