Hastings District Council has a number of large, exciting and challenging engineering projects either underway or in the planning stages: landfill development and construction; sewer treatment plant; sports facilities; subdivision developments; land drainage schemes; extension of water, storm-water and waste-water networks. 

Strong growth in the district has put pressure on existing infrastructure and Hastings District Council is currently in a development and construction period to accommodate this need.

The Council has a large pool of engineering knowledge and skill, and experience shows this is best utilised by working together and assisting each other with key project work.  Junior staff benefit from an environment which encourages learning, and through mentoring and a diverse range of work they gain experience in a broad range of engineering disciplines.

Decision making in the engineering team involves input from a number of staff members.  Engineering staff often advise council decision-makers or participate in the decision-making process themselves.

Many Hastings District Council engineering staff hold senior national positions with professional organisations.  Hastings District Council encourages and supports staff participation is such groups.
