Graduate Civil Engineers - Major Projects & Structures (Oct 2023)

The opportunity

We’re looking for Graduates in Civil Engineering to join to work on a range of exciting infrastructure projects across New Zealand, such as Papakura to Drury, the Watercare Enterprise Model, the Fonterra Model, Te Ahu a Turanga – Manawatu Gorge, O Mahurangi Penlink and many more. If you love the idea of working on site, working on structures and heavy civils and seeing a project come to life, this is the role for you.

In this role, you’ll see yourself responsible for supporting operational delivery of a project or department works, reporting to Site Engineers or Foreman. You will support tasks to learn the ropes such as quality checks, site set ups, subcontractor management, document control, safety, and suppliers.

At Fulton Hogan we work hard to be the best and this begins with finding, developing and retaining the best fresh talent in New Zealand. We understand that where you land your Graduate opportunity is the first step in your career, and with over 80 years’ experience, we’re committed to ensuring you grow as our business grows.

What’s in it for you?

We foster an inclusive culture based around family values. In whichever location you are placed across NZ, you’ll get the opportunity to work alongside teams of experienced professionals to support a variety of projects, in an environment that is rewarding, challenging and fun.

The Fulton Hogan Graduate program provides you with experience in all facets of the business on a rotational basis across two years. Rotations allow you to see our work in action, access environments for full Engineering New Zealand (formally known as IPENZ) competency development and get a feel for what areas you would most like to develop specialist skills in.

We really encourage and help you to work on both your professional and personal development.

Your technical knowledge and skills gives you entry into the industry, but your on-going career success will depend upon you and your ability to lead and manage others. We will support you to develop these skills with opportunities, mentoring, feedback, and encouragement.
