Senior Structural Engineer (Client Side - Telco)
- Contract with telco providers are for 20 years + so not impacted by economy.
- Great culture, with a start up vibe but the lastest tech stack.
This company is the owner of a significant portion of New Zealand's telco infastructure assets. Orignially set up after the acquisition of OneNZ (then Vodafone's) towers, the business is owned by 3 investment funds and now consists of 50 people across Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington.
They have a start-up feel, with a 'challenge the status quo' attitude.
The business has a focus on automation and a very sopisticated tech stack, utilising the latest tools and software. Their contracts with telco providers are for Telco providers are for 20+ years, so the state of the economy isn't a concern.
With well funded investors, the business makes a point of paying well. They also have great benefits, which helped a achieve a recent employee engagement score of 87%. The team work from home 2 days a week and currently work summer hours, where they finish at 3pm on a Friday.
The Role:Working within a team of 8 Engineers, the business is looking to grow their in-house offering, bringing work back from consultants. Based out of either Christchurch or Auckland, you will be involved in the structural design, construction monitoring and associated contract admisitration of a range of telco structures and assetts.
There are good progression pathways, either continuing your technical development, or transition in to the in-house Project Management team, or operations. You will also get a lot of exposure to all of the major telco providers, creating a vast number of options.
This is a client side role as well, so you aren't measured on utilisation and billables. There are time sheets, however they are for measuring spend on each tower rather than measuring you. The major difference however, is the speed of decision making and getting things done.No more waiting for a client to respond to a RFI, simply walk across the office.
You Will Need:
- at least 6 years experience as a Structural Engineer.
- Relevant tertiary qualification.
- Can-do attitude, they are not a compliance based business. They really like people who challenge the status quo, make decisions and share ideas,
- Ideally you will have had some exposure to telco structural design, however if not, experience designing industrial/water structures.
This is a unique, client side opportunity, resilient to the market that pays very well....in the current environment, it sounds like a dream to me.
