Detail information about job Junior /Intermediate Water Resources Engineer/ Hydraulic Modeller (Rivers). Terms and conditions vacancy

About the business and the role

Land River Sea Consulting is a small engineering consultancy that serves a range of clients around NZ both in the public and private sector however the majority of our work is for major regional councils.  Essentially we are two full time staff members with a number of casual employees / sub contractors.  Due to a staff member moving out of Christchurch I am looking for a new employee to join me.   Our main work relates to river engineering and hydraulic modelling.  The exact nature of the role will depend on the experience and interests of the successful applicant, however there is opportunity to gain experience in hydrology, hydraulic modelling, environmental restoration, engineering design and drone surveying.

The exact terms of the contract are negotiable however I am hoping to employ someone for 30+ hours per week for this role.

This is not the typical corporate position.  You will be working mainly from an office in our back garden, so will be interacting with my family and young kids on a daily basis. The ideal candidate will be easy going, but at the same time professional and committed to the work.  Whilst we are a small company, we work with many of the major councils in NZ as well as with and alongside many of the large multinational consultancies.

The applicant will need a valid NZ work visa to apply.

For basic details about the company see www.landriversea.com

Please submit your application through the seek.co.nz website as this allows me to more easily manage and track all applications.

I will be open to considering graduates who are finishing this year.

  • Processing data from drone surveys.
  • Processing and manipulation of LiDAR data.
  • Report writing and research

The complexity of the tasks will depend on the experience of the successful applicant.

Skills and experience
