Whitianga, New Zealand
Waikato Regional Council
Full time
We want more good people to come and do great things with us.
We love where we live. That’s why we work so hard to look after our region and the people who live and work in the Waikato region.
Customers sit at the heart of everything we do, and all staff have an important role to play in the delivery of exceptional customer service.
Our work is as diverse as the region we care for; from the tip of the Coromandel Peninsula to the slopes of Ruapehu. We’ve got ambitious goals and there are some tricky issues, but that’s what makes it so interesting.
A unique opportunity is being offered by the Waikato Regional Council and the Department of Conservation for a student position based in Whitianga. If you have a strong connection to the Coromandel Peninsula, are passionate about conservation and the environment and enjoy working both indoors and outdoors we would love to hear from you.
This fixed term summer role is in memorial to Arthur Hinds (June 2, 1946 - September 23, 2017), a notable conservationist who led one of New Zealand’s most successful kiwi protection projects and championed numerous environmental efforts across the Waikato and Coromandel.
The role will provide support to the river and catchment programmes of the Waikato Regional Council and the conservation operations of the Department of Conservation. This will involve assisting with work such as:
- maintenance inspections
- river and stream inspections
- pest plant and pest animal field work
- community and visitor information sharing
- harbourmaster and marine reserve activities
- a variety of office-based work such as data review and cataloguing
- DOC track and structure maintenance, routine campground and visitor information
- Assisting with maintenance of predator traplines, compliance patrols of the Te Whanganui-ā-Hei Marine Reserve.
Applicants will be team players, of moderate fitness and able to meet the challenge of working in a multi-disciplinary environment where your work plan may change from day to day. A full driver’s license is essential.
