Te kōwhiringa | The Opportunity

Downer is a leading provider of integrated services across New Zealand, with a strong presence in transport, utilities, and infrastructure.

This is a role where no two days are the same - from delivering new installations and upgrades to providing technical support on critical programmes like Milford Road avalanche control, you'll be at the heart of projects that make a tangible difference to the community. You'll also play a key part in expanding Downer's presence in Otago, working alongside senior leaders to identify growth opportunities and strengthen client relationships.
