Chester Consultants Ltd.

Chester Consultants Ltd. Your Partner in the Built Environment Since 1985, Chester Consultants has been the go to, one-stop shop for engineering consultants and designers.

A small but powerful force, we have grown to a 48 strong team of experts skilled across multiple disciplines and we have great relationships with experts in other disciplines, meaning that it doesn’t matter what you need us for – we have the know-how. Based in Takapuna and Fiji, our responsive team, led by Founder and Director Gary Chester & fellow Director Steven Rankin, pride ourselves on our st

art to finish service. We work with you to understand what you need; we ensure that designs are consistent, practical, and will be approved by council; and we follow through by monitoring construction onsite. In other words, we make sure that what is getting built will do what you need it to do and is made to last.

Last month our Director and Group Manager, Steven Rankin, attended the UDINZ Gala Dinner focused on shaping the future of urban development in Aotearoa.

It was great to be part of conversations centred on partnering with mana whenua to create places that are sustainable, culturally responsive, community driven and ready for the future.

At Chester we believe in working together to build thriving communities, as Your Partner in the Built Environment.

Quietly arriving and steadily growing, have been proud to support clients across New Zealand and South Pacific for over four decades. Our next chapter brings us further south, where we’re establishing a lasting presence servicing Otago and Southland.

Our base is right in the heart of Queenstown, close to the energy, the people, and the projects shaping the region. This move isn’t about making noise. It’s about building genuine relationships, delivering dependable engineering, and becoming part of the local fabric through consistent, high-quality work.

With regional development guided by chartered structural engineer Fearghal McGuinness, a trusted long-term local with proven experience and an active presence in the community, our Queenstown team is well positioned to provide local insight with the full support and expertise of the wider Chester network.

As we continue to strengthen our capability throughout Otago and Southland, we’re looking to connect with structural engineers who share our values. This means you:
• strive to make it better every day,
• believe we succeed as one team together,
• stand by we say it, we do it, we deliver,
• foster positive people, positive outcomes, and
• value balance in everything.

If that sounds like you, explore our current opportunities and discover what a future with Chester could look like.
