We’re excited about the challenges ahead. If you ask us, there’s never been a more rewarding time to work in the energy, chemical and resources sectors.

We offer a flexible approach to working, because our people are safer, healthier, and more productive when they can balance work with life. That’s why we offer flexible and hybrid working options, so you can choose when, where and how you work.

Right now, we’re bridging two worlds as we accelerate to more sustainable energy sources, while helping our customers provide the solutions that society needs now. We partner with our customers to deliver projects and create value over the life of their portfolio of assets.

In New Zealand we have 6 offices spread across the country and partner with our customers to deliver projects focused around the energy, power, chemicals, water, and industrial sectors.

What You’ll Do

  • Develop and implement effective contracting strategies.
  • Ensure compliance with internal policies and procedures.
  • Support the Supply Chain Manager with subcontracting strategies and planning.

  • Strong understanding of FIDIC, NZS 3910 / 3916, NEC 3 / 4, or similar standard forms of contract.
  • Skilled in contract negotiation, execution, and administration.
  • Ability to identify commercial risks and ensure mitigation strategies are in place.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Why you should apply

  • Flexible work arrangements.
  • Competitive remuneration & employee benefits.
  • Career development opportunities beyond this role.
  • Supported by both a local and globally connected team.
  • Ability to purchase additional leave.
  • Paid parental leave program – we offer 22 weeks gender neutral paid parental leave for primary carers.
  • Supportive team culture built on respect, safety, and open communication.
  • Take advantage of our global on-line learning platform!
  • Opportunity to work on a variety of diverse and exciting projects as we transition to a more sustainable world.
  • Moving forward together

    We want our people to be energized and empowered to drive sustainable impact. So, our focus is on a values-inspired culture that unlocks brilliance through belonging, connection and innovation.

    We’re building a diverse, inclusive and respectful workplace. Creating a space where everyone feels they belong, can be themselves, and are heard.

    And we're not just talking about it; we're doing it. We're reskilling our people, leveraging transferable skills, and supporting the transition of our workforce to become experts in today's low carbon energy infrastructure and technology.

    Whatever your ambition, there’s a path for you here. And there’s no barrier to your potential career success.
