- Architectural TechnicianArchitectural technicians interpret sketches and designs produced by an architect, architectural designer or client. They make working drawings, such as floor plans, elevations, sections and details, and associated documentation of buildings. These are used to obtain resource and building consents, and for pricing and construction purposes by builders.
- Civil EngineerCivil engineers plan, design and supervise the construction and repair of infrastructure such as buildings, roads, bridges, tunnels, dams, water systems, wastewater treatment plants and wharves.
- Coastal EngineerCoastal engineers study coastal and river systems, and are involved in protection and erosion work. They design coastal structures such as beaches, sea walls, marinas and ports, and assess the environmental effects these developments may have.
- Electrical EngineerElectrical engineers specify, design and supervise the construction or manufacture of systems and equipment that produce, distribute and/or use electricity. They also maintain, operate and manage these systems and equipment.
- Electrical Engineering TechnicianElectrical engineering technicians interpret designs and technical instructions from an electrical engineer and ensure that they are accurately implemented. They also develop, install, test and maintain equipment that produces, transmits or uses power.
- Engineering DraughtspersonEngineering draughtspeople make plans and drawings of structures or machines.
- Environmental EngineerEnvironmental engineers plan, design and supervise construction of public infrastructure such as wastewater treatment plants, landfills, and stormwater and river-control works.
- Hydraulics EngineerHydraulics engineers design, organise and supervise the building and repair of structures such as dams and canals. They also analyse natural water flow systems (streams, rivers and lakes) and work on urban-drainage, flood and stormwater management projects.
- Mechanical EngineerMechanical engineers design and give advice on the building and repair of machines and tools. They also investigate problems and faults with machinery, and study ways to improve manufacturing and energy production.
- Mechanical Engineering TechnicianMechanical engineering technicians assist with the design, building and maintenance of machines, such as air-conditioning systems, heating and ventilation units and power plants. They also develop manufacturing quality control systems by studying and improving the mechanical processes and machinery on production lines.
- Natural Resources EngineerNatural resources engineers analyse natural resources such as the water, land, soil, plants and animals. They design technologies and systems that minimise the environmental impact of development and use natural resources in efficient and sustainable ways.
- Process Engineer (Chemical)Process or chemical engineers design, develop and operate processes and equipment that are used to change raw materials into useful products. Chemical engineering covers a wide variety of jobs such as environmental engineering, biochemical engineering and waste engineering, and chemical engineers are often known as process engineers to indicate the wide range of jobs that they do.
- Roading EngineerRoading engineers design, plan and supervise the building and repair of structures such as roads, motorways, car parks, pavements, tunnels, freight terminals and traffic islands. Roading engineers may also research driver behaviour and road safety.
- Structural EngineerStructural engineers analyse, design and manage the construction of a range of load-bearing structures such as houses, commercial buildings, sports stadiums, hospitals, bridges and telecommunications towers.
