Shape the Future of Fire Engineering in New Zealand
At Jensen Hughes, we don't just design solutions we help make buildings, communities and the people within them safer.
We're looking for an experienced Fire Engineer to join our growing team in Auckland.
This is an opportunity for someone who wants more than a role where you sit behind a computer, produce reports and move from one project to the next.

You'll work across a broad range of projects and industries, collaborating with some of the best fire engineering minds in New Zealand and around the world.
And importantly, you'll have a voice.
