An established and growing Lower North Island engineering business is seeking an experienced Mechanical or Structural Engineer to join the team in a senior capacity.

The company delivers specialist industrial engineering solutions including heavy mechanical systems, structural steel design, material handling systems and pressure equipment. Due to succession planning, continued project growth and a strong forward workload, they are now looking to appoint a senior engineer who can take ownership of technical delivery while contributing to broader project success.

This is a hands-on role within a practical, delivery-focused engineering environment - not a corporate consultancy setting.

The Role

  • Depending on your background, this position may suit:
  • A Senior Mechanical Engineer with design and manufacturing experience in pressure equipment, material handling systems or industrial plant
  • A Senior Structural Engineer with exposure to heavy industrial steel and supporting structure design and manufacture
  • A Chartered Mechanical or Structural Engineer seeking broader design and project ownership
  • An experienced engineer ready to step toward Design Lead or senior technical leadership

You will play a key role in design oversight, technical sign-off, tender support and client interaction.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and review mechanical or structural design outputs
  • Support tendering and project documentation
  • Provide practical, buildable engineering solutions
  • Interface with fabrication, machining, site teams and clients
  • Ensure compliance with relevant codes and standards
  • Contribute to continuous improvement, health & safety and quality systems

About You

  • 8–15+ years’ engineering experience
  • Mechanical or Structural engineering background
  • Experience in material handling, pressure equipment, lifting equipment or industrial structures advantageous

Please contact Peter Henderson on 027 441 9300 for more information or to apply
