Think ahead. Design with purpose. Build what matters.

If you're a Civil Design Engineer who enjoys solving real problems, thinking creatively, and seeing your work come to life in the real world, this is a role worth your attention.

At Pinnacles Civil, we're not about overcomplicating things. We focus on practical, high-quality solutions that work for our clients, our communities, and our team.

Based in either Tauranga or the Whakatane region this is your chance to step into a role where your ideas are valued, your development is supported, and your work has a visible, lasting impact.

About us
Named after the iconic Pinnacles Peak, our business is grounded in the region we call home. We design, build, and maintain infrastructure that keeps communities connected from roads and bridges to earthworks and retaining structures.

We're a tight-knit, down-to-earth team. We work hard, back each other, and keep things straightforward. No egos, no unnecessary layers just good people doing good work.

The role
You'll be working across a variety of civil infrastructure projects, taking ownership of design work and contributing to practical, buildable solutions.

This is a role where you'll be trusted to think, challenge ideas, and bring forward better ways of doing things.

Your work will include:

• Roading and geometric design for national, local government, and private projects
• 3D modelling across roading, retaining walls, and stormwater systems
• Stormwater assessments, including hydrological and hydraulic analysis
• Designing practical, compliant stormwater solutions
• Preparing technical reports and supporting documentation
• Producing accurate quantities from 3D models

What you'll bring
You're someone who enjoys getting into the detail, but also understands the bigger picture. You're curious, solutions-focused, and not afraid to challenge the norm if there's a better way.

• NZDE qualification or higher
• Around 5+ years' experience in civil/roading engineering
• Strong capability in 12D or Civil3D and AutoCAD
• Solid understanding of design standards and industry requirements
• Ability to think critically and deliver practical, buildable outcomes

What's on offer

• Active social club and regular team events
• Company clothing provided

Why Pinnacles Civil?
Because you want to be part of a team where things are done properly, people are looked after, and your work actually matters.

We build more than infrastructure. We build careers, capability, and long-term relationships, and we enjoy the process along the way.
