Senior Engineer | Electrical (New Zealand)
Inspire a better world through influence and design.
Want to work on a varied project base across multiple sectors, and help build ADP's presence in New Zealand from the ground up?
We are looking for a Senior Engineer | Electrical to join the ADP Consulting team in Auckland or Hamilton. This is a building services consulting role with a broad project base spanning many sectors, where you will have genuine technical ownership of your projects from concept through to construction.
The role will start remotely. As our New Zealand team grows, we plan to move into a shared or standalone office in around 12 months, with the location still to be confirmed. From then, we'll expect you to work from the office for some or most of the week.
Please note: Applicants must reside in New Zealand and hold full New Zealand working rights, as this role does not offer visa sponsorship.
Who We Are
Founded in 2011 in Australia, ADP Consulting is a trusted, sustainability-led engineering consultancy with an international footprint that is renowned for finding the best technical and sustainable solutions to the most complex projects, wherever these may be.
ADP Consulting is committed to inspiring a better world through influence and design, collaborating with industry leaders who are equally as passionate about innovation, design excellence and, importantly, our impact on the planet.
ADP Consulting has now joined forces with Ayesa, one of the world's largest technology and engineering companies, in a move that facilitates new pathways and accelerates our growth.
What is your role?
You will take technical responsibility for electrical building services design across a varied mix of project types and sectors. Working as part of a broader ADP team across New Zealand and Australia, you will carry projects from early concept through to construction documentation, producing and reviewing electrical designs covering power distribution within buildings, lighting and controls, emergency systems, communication and data infrastructure, and security. You will coordinate closely with ADP's wider multidisciplinary team, spanning mechanical, hydraulic, fire, vertical transport, acoustics, ICT and sustainability, so clients get a fully integrated building services solution from one consultancy. You will also be a direct point of contact for clients and other project stakeholders on the projects you lead.
The project base is intentionally broad. You will work across data centre and mission critical facilities, alongside commercial, education, health, civic and mixed-use projects, with the variety that comes from a consultancy that does not restrict itself to one or two sectors. You will also contribute to the mentoring and technical development of more junior engineers in the team, and you will play an active role in design reviews and quality checking across your projects. There is also the opportunity to work on Australian projects with our teams across the country, and to be part of growing ADP's presence in New Zealand, so business development experience is a real advantage.
