I’m partnering with a well-established, locally owned HVAC contractor that’s growing its Design & Build workload across New Zealand. They’re looking to add a Mechanical Engineer to their in-house design team in Christchurch.
This role suits someone from a consultancy or contracting background who wants more exposure to buildability and hands-on project delivery - without the layers of a large consultancy.
What you’ll be doing:
- Designing HVAC systems and producing mechanical drawings and specifications
- Working closely with internal PMs, installers, and external stakeholders
- Interpreting and applying NZ Building Code compliance
- Meeting with clients to understand requirements and translate them into practical solutions
- Engaging with suppliers and attending training to stay across new products and technologies
- Occasionally travelling out of town for project or client needs
What we’re looking for:
- Solid experience in the HVAC industry
- A recognised trade or engineering qualification
- Revit design experience
- Strong communication skills and a professional, approachable manner
- Ability to build relationships with clients, consultants, and contractors
What’s on offer:
- Competitive salary aligned to experience
- Southern Cross Health Insurance
- Ongoing training, mentoring, and genuine professional development opportunities
- A supportive team environment working on a wide variety of projects nationwide
