Asphalt Paving Engineer

Nau mai, haere mai ki a Fulton Hogan | Join us at Fulton Hogan

We’re looking for an Asphalt Paving Engineer to join our surfacing team in Auckland. You’ll help plan and coordinate paving work, provide technical support across delivery, and keep programmes, resources and costs on track so we can deliver safe, high-quality roads.

Mō te tūranga | About the role

This is a technical role with a practical edge. You’ll be close to the work, partnering with crews, supervisors, suppliers and clients to keep asphalt paving jobs moving smoothly from planning through to delivery. In Auckland, that could mean supporting work across urban roading renewals, motorway and arterial resurfacing, intersections, subdivisions, car parks, airport pavements and other civil infrastructure projects. It’s a role for someone who can think ahead, solve problems on the go and stay calm when the pace lifts.

You’ll need to be comfortable balancing site requirements, traffic management, plant and material coordination, and commercial awareness. In return, you’ll get real responsibility, solid backing and the chance to grow in a team that values ideas, not ego.
 

Ngā kawenga matua | Key responsibilities

• Support asphalt paving crews with planning, coordination and technical input so work is delivered safely and to a high standard.

• Ensure traffic management plans are fit for purpose and site access is in place before work starts.

• Liaise with supply chain partners to make sure the right plant, people and materials are available when needed.

• Provide sound technical advice to clients and help solve day-to-day operational and logistical challenges.

• Record, monitor and control costs while helping maximise programme opportunities and overall business performance.

Kei te kimi mātou i tētahi e whai ana i ēnei pūkenga | We’re looking for someone with

• A Diploma or Bachelor of Engineering qualification.

• Experience in civil contracting specifically in surfacing or paving.

• Knowledge of project management principles, with the ability to plan ahead and keep moving when priorities shift.

• Strong communication and relationship skills, with a practical, team-focused approach.

• A strong commitment to safety, quality and continuous improvement.

He pai te mahi, he pai ngā painga | Good work, good benefits

At Fulton Hogan, we genuinely care about the wellbeing of our people and giving them the tools and opportunities they need to succeed and grow with us. You’ll have access to:

• Medical insurance and Life insurance after the eligibility period.

• Parental leave top‑up payment with additional return‑to‑work support.

• Ongoing training and development, with clear career growth and progression opportunities.

• Great discounts at a wide range of retailers.

Ko wai mātou | About us

At Fulton Hogan, Good Work is more than what we deliver. It’s how we work, how we treat each other, and how we keep moving forward together. We’re a flat, friendly team that backs good ideas, values low ego, and knows when to relax and when to switch on.

Across New Zealand, we deliver the infrastructure communities rely on every day, from roads, surfacing and bridges to water, rail, airports and civil construction projects. We take the work seriously, not ourselves, so you’ll be joining a team that enjoys a laugh, speaks straight, and still holds a very high bar when it comes to safety, quality and delivery. If you like the sound of serious work with good people, you’ll fit right in.
