Senior Civil / Dam Safety Engineer

The Role

Fluid Recruitment is proud to exclusively partner with Meridian Energy in searching for a Senior Civil / Dam Safety Engineer.

Part of Meridian's Dam Safety & Civil Engineering Team, you'll contribute to key asset management decisions and have ample opportunity to spend time in the field working directly with assets across the Waitaki and Manapouri Power Schemes.

This will enable you to utilise your technical skills in influencing how assets are managed, improving monitoring, preparing for and responding to emergencies and undertaking dam safety investigations and assessments.

Using your people skills you'll oversee surveillance programmes, contribute to risk management, lead varied projects, and provide support and mentorship within the team.

All of which will involve collaborating with your fellow Dam Safety and Civil Engineers as well as other engineering disciplines, and working with Surveillance Teams, Maintainers / Operators, Project Delivery Teams, suppliers, and key stakeholders.

About You

With a strong background in asset management and civil project engineering you'll be relationship focused, experienced working with a range of stakeholders.

Risk-based and pragmatic, you'll ensure assets are managed in a financially astute manner that maximises asset value while in accordance with dam safety regulations and best practice.

With previous dam specific experience (hydro, water supply, irrigation, flood control or mining dams), you'll have :

A proven track record of effectively managing assets

Strong problem-solving skills

A high attention to detail while still seeing the bigger picture

Financial and project planning experience

A relevant qualification in civil or a related engineering field

The Opportunity

This is a unique opportunity to be based in one of the most picturesque parts of the country, working on site and close to the assets you are responsible for.

While joining a well-resourced local office, you will also form part of the broader Engineering Team where you will get to lean on and collaborate with a range of engineering disciplines, all with strong subject matter expertise.

Meridian's Twizel office enables you to choose your location throughout the Mackenzie and Waitaki Districts.

Perfect for those looking to make the most of the outdoors, raise a family in a community orientated environment or wanting to unwind.

There's no shortage of all year-round activities thanks to ample mountains, large lakes, multiple cycle trails and serine skies (whether for gliding or simply gazing at the stars!).

A competitive remuneration package is on offer including :

Annual incentive scheme

Relocation support (if needed)

Health Insurance - Southern Cross Wellbeing One

Life, trauma and income protection insurance

Three additional annual leave days over the Christmas break, enhanced parental leave and options to buy additional leave
