Job Description

Central Otago is one of the most spectacular and fastest-growing regions in New Zealand and two well-regarded multi-disciplinary consultancies are both actively hiring here. One is a highly respected South Island firm known for a values-led culture, deep regional expertise, and substantive work across engineering, surveying, planning, and environmental services. The other is a nationally active land development consultancy working across some of NZ's most complex and interesting subdivision projects. Multiple roles across both businesses — intermediate, senior, LCS — meaning there's a genuine fit regardless of where you are in your career.

Requirements

  • Bachelor of Surveying or NZ-recognised equivalent
  • 12d and Landonline proficiency (experience-level appropriate)
  • Working knowledge of cadastral survey processes and LINZ requirements
  • NZ work rights

Nice to have

  • LCS registration or demonstrated progress toward it
  • Rural surveying or high-country terrain experience
  • Section 223/224 experience for intermediate/senior applicants
  • Prior South Island regional experience

What we offer

Accommodation support
