Why Choose Pinnacles Civil?

At Pinnacles Civil, we're not just some fancy corporation engineering stuff, we're all about connecting with our community. Our roots run deep in the beautiful region of Coromandel Ranges, named after the majestic Pinnacles Peak. We're on a mission to create a brighter future by designing, constructing, and maintaining essential infrastructure like roads, bridges, earthworks, and retaining structures.

Unleash Your Potential

As an Engineering Cadet your mission is to support our project managers by learning how to undertake civil engineering design, construction supervision, and project management work.

We've got a great team, and you'll be learning from them, tackling exciting projects in various engineering disciplines. Together, we'll work on providing the guidance behind earthworks, drainage systems, roads, bridges, and retaining structures.

We have opportunities in Mt Maunganui and Hamilton. This advert details our Hamilton opportunity.

While you're busy doing all this amazing stuff, you'll also be working towards a Diploma in Civil Engineering (NZDE).

A sneak peek into your daily adventure...

• You'll be teaming up with project managers and shadowing them to learn civil engineering design principles
