Student Engineers

 

  • Wellington based
  • Fixed term full time from mid November 2018 to mid-February 2019
  • End of 2nd, 3rd or final year Natural Resources or Civil Engineering students

 

The Greater Wellington Regional Council's Flood Protection Department has two paid work placements available for Natural Resources or Civil Engineering students.

The role would suit students at the end of their 2nd or 3rd or final year who are seeking professional work experience to fulfil their degree requirements. Previous summer students have worked on technical analyses, asset management, river engineering, field work, data collection, consultation and reporting. This work feeds into departmental activities such as resource consent applications, engineering designs, floodplain management plan development, forward work planning and operational river management work.

We understand the development needs of engineering students and therefore will provide the necessary experience to meet your objectives, facilitated by one-on-one mentoring. Student engineers will be exposed to an interesting mix of work across the Wellington Region [link removed]

 

We are looking for students who:

  • Have an interest in water engineering and particularly in rivers and streams
  • Work well as part of a team, but can be self-directed for periods of time once working on a task
  • Have good skills in Microsoft Office software - experience with hydraulic modelling software and ArcGIS may be handy but not essential

 

The Greater Wellington Regional Council works with communities to manage flood risk from the region's rivers and streams. We develop floodplain management plans, provide a free advice and consultation service, maintain and build flood protection works, work with the community to improve the environment and recreational opportunities, and provide flood warnings.
