About ENGEO

ENGEO is an award-winning, employee-owned consultancy of geotechnical engineers, engineering geologists, environmental scientists, and hydrologists. We’re known for practical, timely solutions, open communication, and a supportive, innovative working environment that puts people first.

Our culture is our strategy: we hire for potential and values - humble, hungry, and smart - and create an environment where our team thrive through hands-on support and mentorship, technical excellence, and opportunities for continuous development.

What will you be doing?

You’ll provide geological and geotechnical input for a wide range of projects, working closely with clients and collaborating as part of a multidisciplinary team. Your role will blend technical expertise with practical problem-solving and client service.

• Site investigations & analysis: geological mapping, rock and soil characterisation, slope stability assessments, landslide hazard evaluation, and foundation recommendations.
• Project delivery & collaboration: coordinating fieldwork, mentoring juniors, maintaining quality and consistency of deliverables, and working effectively with clients and contractors.

We work on a variety of complex projects for quality clients who value our services, including:

• Residential subdivisions and large-scale land development
• Transport and civil infrastructure
• Vertical buildings and subsurface structures
• Aged-care facilities and hospitals
• Natural hazard and disaster remediation, including landslide stabilisation and rockfall mitigation

What do we look for in our people?

• Values alignment: humble, hungry, smart - plus a team-first mindset and drive for continuous development.
• Consulting fundamentals: quality reporting, practical solutions, clear communication, and a passion for client service.
• Technical capability: geological mapping, rock and soil mechanics, slope stability, landslide hazard assessment, and sound judgement in NZ conditions.
• Collaboration & leadership potential: contributing positively to our team culture, mentoring juniors, strong initiative, and taking ownership of your work.

We’d love to hear from qualified engineering geologists with a consulting background who are keen to grow their technical depth and expand their responsibility on projects.

We may or may not have a position for you right now, but we’ll be in touch anyway to discuss how you might fit in.
