Kick-start your career with hands-on field experience!
Join our Auckland Cirro teams at Geotechnics and take your practical skills out into the field.
In this permanent opportunity, you will help deliver geotechnical and environmental monitoring that supports projects all over New Zealand. When issues arise, you will be the first line of defence to help ensure our clients receive accurate, reliable data.
If you’re someone who enjoys working outdoors, using tools and technology to solve real-world problems, and seeing the results of your work firsthand, this is the role for you.
You’ll be part of a small, supportive team covering the full lifecycle of monitoring — from assembling and testing equipment in the workshop through to installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting sensors and data loggers on-site. Every day offers something different, and no two projects are the same.
