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 Senior 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 have the opportunity to lead projects, work directly with clients, solve complex fire safety challenges, get out on site, mentor the next generation of engineers and help shape the future of our business in New Zealand.
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.

Why Join Jensen Hughes?
If you're an experienced Fire Engineer who enjoys solving difficult problems, working with clients and having an influence beyond your own projects, this could be the next step you've been looking for.
