Professional Otago-based civil consultants creating engineering excellence for a sustainable future


Fluent Solutions was born in March 2013 following a nationwide restructuring at Spiire (previously Duffill Watts and King). After more than 20 years of working together throughout New Zealand and Internationally, the need to continue with the tradition of Duffill Watts and King was evident. Many of our original employees are still with us today, and some of us have worked together for almost three decades. We believe this professional longevity is a testament to our passionate team and unwavering work ethic. 

Today, Fluent Solutions is a multi-disciplinary consulting firm providing expertise across Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, 3 Water Analysis, Planning and Design Consultation and Environmental Engineering.

Our Core Values

Our values are integral to everything we do as a company. With such an extensive range of quality projects on the go, we have numerous engineering job vacancies available for like-minded people who share our vision. We currently occupy offices in Dunedin and Queenstown, working with local councils and valued commercial clients across Otago and the lower South Island.
