About Five-D
What is Five-D?
Five-D is a 100% employee-owned, multi-discipline engineering consultancy in New Plymouth, Taranaki. Established in 2023, it delivers engineering, asset-integrity and project-management services to New Zealand's energy and infrastructure sectors — including work supporting the transition to a low-carbon future.
Where will I work?
From the CBD office in New Plymouth — minutes from the coastal walkway, with views of both the sea and the maunga. Flexible arrangements on hours and location are offered.
What is the Five-D team like?
A small senior team of mechanical, process and project engineers who own the business they work in — employee ownership is core to the model.
