At Beca we pride ourselves on our involvement in complex and multi-discipline projects. You will have opportunity to learn from our Power industry experts delivering these engineering solutions across New Zealand and Australia. While being based in Christchurch or Wellington, you will be part of a highly diverse and supportive team, with global experience from our technical and project delivery leaders, senior engineers and newly joined graduates. Projects range from connecting renewable energy sites to upgrading networks for resilience.

Joining this team will allow you to bring your engineering abilities to understand client project requirements, analyse and problem solve. You will have the curiosity mindset and skills to research and validate data, drawings, site photos, as well as the ability to interpret these with on-site visits, and have strong communication skills including report writing. While you will have plenty of scope for success in this role, you will also have the awareness to know your limits, especially knowing when to seek input to validate and confirm your design assumptions such as from Beca’s protection settings sector technical experts, or through other sources.
