This is your opportunity to shape the future of Ground Engineering in New Zealand.
AECOM is looking for an exceptional leader to drive the strategic growth of our Ground Engineering & Tunnelling (GET) business, building on an already strong foundation to create the next chapter of our success. Come be a part of a team working on the best and biggest projects in New Zealand, and enjoy the variety of projects and clients we work with, from major infrastructure projects with NZTA and Watercare, to remote adventures deep in beautiful New Zealand with DOC, Transpower and regional Councils.
This isn't a traditional leadership role. It's an opportunity to define a market, influence nationally significant infrastructure, build lasting client partnerships and develop a team that will shape New Zealand for decades to come. We’ve secured some awesome projects and need your help to grow and maintain this pipeline into the future while providing technical oversight and leadership on projects we already have won. Our current team leaders will work with you to grow our geotechnical capability, giving you freedom to focus on our clients and markets.
Working alongside some of the industry's most respected technical specialists, you'll have the autonomy to set the vision, identify new opportunities and grow our national GET capability. From major infrastructure programmes and water projects to transport and energy, you'll help position AECOM at the forefront of one of the country's fastest-evolving markets.
As the face of our GET business, you'll represent AECOM across the industry, strengthen relationships with key clients and partners, and help shape conversations that influence the future of geotechnical engineering in New Zealand.
Success in this role isn't measured solely by the projects you deliver—it's about the legacy you create. You'll mentor the next generation of technical leaders, foster a collaborative and high-performing culture, and build a business that continues to grow long into the future.
If you're looking for a role where you can combine technical excellence with strategic leadership, commercial influence and genuine market impact, this is an opportunity to make your mark.
