Mechanical Project Engineer

Nau mai haere mai ki tā mātou whānau Welcome to our Fulton Hogan Family

Were growing our Mechanical Engineering team and looking for Project Engineers to lead complex high-impact mechanical projects across the Bay of Plenty region based in Tauranga.

Our projects span across water and wastewater industrial services and process infrastructure sectors with strong integration between mechanical electrical civil structural and controls disciplines. This is meaningful work with a team that backs good ideas values straight-up communication and knows how to deliver when it counts.

Your primary focus will be leading the mechanical scope across multiple projects supported by your ability to coordinate with electrical and civil teams as required. Candidates who come from highcomplexity industrial environments (e.g. FMCG manufacturing energy plant operations or workshop/fabrication backgrounds) and who are comfortable managing multidisciplinary systems will find this work highly aligned.

Core Focus Areas:

Mechanical Delivery Project Programming Financial Control Health & Safety NZS3910

In addition to the above you will:

• Coordinate end-to-end delivery of mechanical equipment and systems including pumps pipework valves rotating equipment and process plant.
• Oversee mechanical procurement fabrication installation testing commissioning and closeout including development and management of QA documentation ITPs FAT/SAT and commissioning plans.
• Coordinate multiple projects to meet scope schedule budget and quality requirements including programme development sequencing methodologies and look-ahead schedules.
• Manage interfaces with electrical civil/structural and instrumentation/control disciplines and resolve technical issues promptly to minimise programme impacts.
• Maintain accurate Cost to Complete (CTC) forecasting procurement planning and value for money evaluations across assigned projects.
• Prepare or support payment and subcontractor claims progress reporting and the identification pricing and management of variations applying a working knowledge of NZS 3910 requirements and communication processes.
• Lead by example in promoting Fulton Hogans H&S expectations ensuring all work is planned and executed in line with legislation internal procedures and project-specific requirements.
• Participate in risk reviews SWMS development and site H&S leadership activities ensuring compliance with relevant New Zealand standards codes and industry guidelines.
• Review and approve vendor documentation project specifications installation procedures shop drawings and completion/commissioning records.
• Ensure mechanical completion testing commissioning as-built information O&M manuals and client handover documentation are accurate complete and aligned with project requirements.

Were looking for someone with:

• Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering (Civil or Electrical considered where strong mechanical exposure exists).
• 5 years experience delivering mechanical scope in water wastewater industrial oil & gas or process infrastructure OR transferable experience from comparable complex mechanical/operations environments.
• Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent projects or operational lines.
• Experience with project programming tools (e.g. MS Project CCS).
• Strong understanding of NZS 3910 processes: claims variations delays formal notices.
• Strong financial awareness: cost tracking forecasting claims variations.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Solid experience with QA testing commissioning and construction or operational completion.
• Demonstrated commitment to leadership in Health & Safety.
