Job Description
- Are you a recent graduate who hasn't quite landed where you want to be?
- Apply your critical thinking to high-profile projects
- Work in a flexible, high-performing, supportive and collegial team environment
We are looking for people with diverse skills and experience to contribute to New Zealand's infrastructure projects with the Clearances team. If you have an interest in (or want to make it one) land and the Public Works Act, then you definitely want to come and join us!
Kōrero mō te tūranga - About the role
This is a great opportunity to be at the heart of enabling major infrastructure projects to proceed, to keep New Zealand moving forward. Our Advisors in the Assessment Team undertake assessments and make robust, reason based statutory decisions under delegation. The Assessment Team, working in close collaboration with a variety of other Government Agencies, has an important role in the acquisition, use and disposal of land assets across New Zealand.
Advisors are required to work effectively and collaboratively as part of a team to ensure deadlines are met and quality decisions are made. They will also be required to communicate their analysis and recommendations to other Government agencies or Ministerial decision makers.
No two assessments are the same and this role provides the opportunity to demonstrate strong analytic skills, exceptional written and oral communication, and develop your relationship management skills.
We are looking for someone who is energetic, agile, collaborative and seeking to build a knowledge of the Public Works Act, to provide technical expertise on Clearances issues. As part of the team, you will work with your colleagues and peers in an agile, inclusive and delivery focused way that puts the customer at the centre of our decisions.
