Increasing building activity in New Zealand, mainly Auckland, should contribute to improved job prospects over the next few years. Opportunities for quantity surveyors are good due to a strong residential building sector, a stable commercial (nonresidential) building sector, and too few people training for the role to meet demand. Prospects are good for qualified civil engineering technicians. This occupation is a viable option for those wanting to enter the field of engineering without needing to do a full degree.
