  • Build and maintain strong client relationships, fostering trust through reliable delivery, open communication, and a deep understanding of project and stakeholder needs.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) with 10+ years’ experience in pavement design, and CPEng registered or working towards it (required).
  • Proficient in pavement modelling and delivery, with expertise in CIRCLY 7 (required) and AustPADS (preferred), and a strong command of NZTA and Austroads guidelines.
