Job Description

Electrical Engineer – Building Services


Shape buildings that make a lasting difference

At Mott MacDonald, we believe buildings should do more than function well — they should support the people who use them and the communities they serve. Our New Zealand Building Services team is growing, and we’re looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to provide technical leadership across a diverse portfolio of complex and meaningful projects.

This is an opportunity to take a leading role in shaping electrical building services solutions nationally, while working within a collaborative, multidisciplinary consultancy that values quality, integrity and long‑term impact.

Your role and purpose

As a Electrical Engineer, you’ll lead the delivery and technical direction of electrical building services design across major projects in sectors such as transport, aviation, healthcare, commercial, residential, education and civic infrastructure.

You’ll combine technical excellence with calm, experienced leadership — guiding teams, supporting clients, and influencing outcomes from early concept through to construction and commissioning. This is a hands‑on principal role with real influence over project quality, team capability and client confidence.

What you’ll be doing

  • Providing technical leadership and governance for electrical building services design across complex projects
  • Leading and reviewing electrical designs through concept, detailed design and construction phases
