About Us
At Babbage Consultants, we’ve helped deliver some of Australasia’s most significant industrial and manufacturing projects. We’ve delivered more than $4.9 billion of dairy and food industry projects, completed over 25 processing plants and worked on many of New Zealand’s major capital investment programmes. Our reputation is built on technical excellence, trusted relationships and successful project delivery.
We’re looking for a Senior Process Engineer to join our Process Services team in Auckland. You’ll be a senior technical voice on complex processing projects for industry-leading clients, at a time of strong growth and project activity.
The Role
Reporting to the Process Services Engineering Manager, you’ll provide high-quality process engineering services to our clients, from early concept and modelling through to construction and onsite delivery. You’ll develop detailed process schemes, plant layouts and specifications for pricing, tendering and construction. You’ll also carry out process modelling and report on the outcomes.
On multidisciplinary projects, you’ll manage the design input from other disciplines and plan the delivery of design documentation on time and on budget. You’ll monitor design changes, assess cost impacts and negotiate variations. You’ll also manage resources to meet programme and fee budgets. You’ll also be a trusted adviser to our clients. You’ll build and maintain key client relationships, help identify and develop new opportunities, and lead and facilitate design reviews and feasibility and design-stage workshops.
About You
We’re looking for an experienced process engineer who combines deep technical capability with a practical, client-focused approach.
You will bring:
- A degree qualification in Chemical or Process Engineering
- Significant process engineering experience on industrial, manufacturing or processing projects
- Experience developing process schemes, plant layouts and specifications
- Demonstrated experience facilitating workshops, design reviews, HAZOPs or similar
- Process modelling capability and strong analytical skills
- Experience managing multidisciplinary design and coordinating other disciplines
- Commercial awareness, including managing fees, programmes and variations
- Excellent communication and client relationship skills
- Willingness to work on site for extended periods within New Zealand
Experience in dairy and food processing will be highly regarded.
You’ll thrive in this role if you enjoy solving complex technical problems, build trust quickly with clients and colleagues, and take ownership of the quality of your work. You’ll be proactive, organised and solutions-focused, and you’ll role model the collaborative culture that makes Babbage a great place to work.
Why Babbage
At Babbage, you’ll be trusted to lead, empowered to make decisions, and supported by a highly experienced multidisciplinary team. We’re proud to be employee-owned, so you’ll also have the chance to become a shareholder in the business you help build.
