titus development programme
The Titus Development Programme (TDP) is designed to accelerate the professional growth of young engineers and provide them with a comprehensive skill set aligned with the Titus’ discipline-specific teams. The programme aims to cultivate well-rounded and competent engineers who can quickly progress in their careers, leading to Chartership if desired and a broad fundamental knowledge base.
Course for professional engineers
The TDP involves a structured 2-to-3-year engineer training programme where graduates rotate through the teams at Titus. These teams include the Three Waters / Housing, Geotechnical, Structural, and Civil Engineering. By moving through these various teams, the graduates will have the opportunity to gain hands-on design and site experience and achieve key competencies across each discipline.

The TDP engineer training programme aims to continue this tradition by creating a new generation of engineers who are versatile, knowledgeable, and capable of meeting clients’ needs effectively.
TITUS has four teams:
Three Waters / Housing
Geotechnical

Titus engineer training programme – what you’ll learn
Three Waters / Housing
Three Waters / Housing: The three waters / housing team focuses on three waters designs and residential developments in and around the Waikato. Within this team, you will learn the basics of stormwater and wastewater design, basic geotechnical skills, field site testing methods, and construction observation.
Geotechnical
Geotechnical: Expands on the basic geotechnical knowledge learned in the Housing team with the addition of more advanced geotechnical skills including, liquefaction, slope stability assessment, geohazards, ground improvement, earthworks and subdivisions.
Structural
Structural: Teaches the fundamentals of designing retaining walls, foundations and structural members for residential and commercial developments. There will also be plenty of opportunities to carry out site inspections and see your own designs come to life.
Civil
The civil team builds on three waters and design knowledge gained in the housing and geotechnical teams. It also allows you to build knowledge of designing roading, infrastructure and commercial developments in a 2D and 3D environment. It also includes subdivisional design and construction observation and contract management across a range of civil projects.
