Job Satisfaction at GHD New Zealand

My main day-to-day responsibilities include reporting, communicating with client and contractor, responding to construction queries, site inspections

I tend to work on technical documents and models. Attention to detail is important as these projects we work on are large scale a lot of the time. Sometimes it's layouts of a space, sometimes it's contacting suppliers, sometimes it's checking there are no typos or discrepancies in a document. In saying that, you learn a lot of different things and the task are varied. There are also lot of groups to join within the company which is a good opportunity to get involved and meet people outside your field. That is the advantage of a multidisciplinary company - you get to hear a lot of different perspectives and see how they interlink. It's also a way to engage in hobbies or improve upon skills you wouldn't normally do in your main role - it's also a good way to bulk up your CV.

I have a great balance of technical and non-technical work. I am able to lead in the Te Ao Māori cultural space which include organizing events, developing strategies, and coordinating our Kaimahi Māori Rōpū. I am on projects which add to my knowledge as a process engineer such as wastewater upgrades, optioneering and high-level design. I also support PMs on projects, complete admin tasks, do report writing, and engage with clients.

I support my boss with ongoing projects about stakeholder, community and mana whenua engagement. I write plans, make presentations, systems updates for clients and anything my boss needs

Work within my department is great, my co-workers and peers are very supportive and there's great opportunities for growth. Day to day responsibilities will vary and likely will crunch towards the end of the month or project deadlines.
