Flow is on the lookout for someone with a CAD/Design bent!
Flow is looking for a Transport Engineer who enjoys turning good ideas into well-designed, buildable outcomes. This role is ideal for someone who is experienced in CAD design and wants to work on multi-modal street projects that genuinely shape how people move around our communities. As well as design, you will be involved in the full spectrum of transport engineering and transport planning projects that we do at Flow.
What you’ll be doing: Producing CAD designs for transport projects, including streets, intersections, and corridors. Contributing to multi-modal designs (walking, cycling, public transport, general traffic). Supporting the development of concept, preliminary and detailed design packages. Working alongside planners, engineers, and clients to develop practical, high-quality solutions. Helping to resolve real-world design challenges, not just drafting what’s already been decided.
What we’re looking for: 2–6 years’ experience in transport engineering. Strong working knowledge of CAD software (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Autoturn or similar). Preferably experience in multi-modal street design — cycleways, bus priority, urban upgrades, or similar. An understanding of how design decisions impact safety, efficiency, and user experience. Someone who is practical, curious, and willing to ask questions.
Why this role is worth a look: You’ll work on meaningful projects — not just standard road upgrades. You’ll get real responsibility early, with support where you need it. You’ll get experience of a diverse range of projects across urban and regional contexts. You’ll be part of a highly experienced, friendly team. There’s room to grow your skills in both design and broader transport engineering and transport planning. The kind of person who’ll do well here is someone who enjoys the detail of design but also wants to understand the why behind it.
If all this sounds like you, we’re keen to talk.
The City Rail Link is a proposed 3.4 km underground passenger railway, running between the Britomart Station and the North Auckland railway lines.
Flow’s transport assessments of the City Rail Link considered both the long term (beneficial) effects of the project, and the short term (adverse) effects during construction. The long term effects included identifying the ability to dedicate more space within the Auckland City centre streets for buses, walking and cycling, for people to travel to/from and within the city centre by public transport.

The Northern Corridor Improvements Project
Flow was responsible for the transport planning and transport modelling of the project from the assessment of a range of options in 2013, through to the provision of expert evidence to the public hearings in 2017, and we provided ongoing advice to Waka Kotahi during the construction stage.
Audits of pedestrian rail level crossing closures – Auckland Transport
As part of improving the train services ahead of the City Rail Link (CRL), Auckland Transport is removing a number of pedestrian level crossings across the train tracks. The project recognises that when a crossing across the train tracks is closed, people have to take an alternative route.
Flow was brought in as the independent auditors of the project. We did a road safety audit, a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) assessment and a non-motorised user audit of all the closures and each alternative route.
