Mō mātou | About Us

Our Vision:
Preventing Harm. Saving Lives. Securing our Future
We play a key role in the guardianship of New Zealand waterways.

We're bringing together our aroha, work and skills to achieve our outcomes of sustainable supply chains and sectors, safe people and operations, secure ports and ships, and clean seas and waterways.

Our values are about who we are as individuals and the behaviours we expect from each other at Maritime NZ.

Care | Kia Tika - We care for each other and do the right thing
Connect | Kotahitanga - We unite in a common purpose
Courage | Kia Māia - We are brave, capable and confident
Mō tō mātou Rōpū | About the team

The Harm Prevention & Engagement team has the responsibility for two closely related functions: overseeing and supporting the building of MNZ's harm prevention capability and specific sub-sector strategic programmes, and coordinating and facilitating engagement with the sector and other stakeholders.

The Engagement team is focused on coordinating, facilitating and supporting all parts of the organisation to be excellent, empathic engagers, both internally and externally.

This includes making connections on behalf of the organisation and supporting these to be taken forward by people elsewhere in the business.

Critically, it means we are coordinated in our approaches to engagement across all parts of the business, and that we have appropriate tools and frameworks in place to support those engagements.

The work the team does involves supporting our people to develop top notch communication and engagement skills, and ensuring the key positions and parts of the organisation are supported to develop and implement engagement plans.

It includes designing coordinated and effective engagement plans and activity as part of harm prevention strategies, managing key strategic relationships and at times managing significant engagement events.

Te tūnga | The role

As our Senior Advisor Engagement, you will support the development and implementation of our overarching engagement frameworks and guidance for different roles and functions across the organisation to inform key internal and external engagement.

This includes supporting the Team Manager and Principal Advisors to enable our people to engage effectively and collaboratively with iwi, maritime sector stakeholders, government agencies and with different teams across Maritime NZ.


You will also get involved with:

  • Maintaining an up to date understanding of key sector influencers and inter-stakeholder relationship dynamics as well as the evolving political, cultural, economic and technological environment.
  • Fostering collaboration practices across the organisation, with the intent of improving and increasing industry engagement, collaboration and consultation opportunities.
  • Taking a lead role in identifying and supporting the development of engagement tools, practices and processes.
  • Supporting new engagement opportunities with maritime industry stakeholders and organisations and work with the Harm Prevention Leads to develop engagement plans for programmes.
  • Developing and maintaining relationships with any assigned key external stakeholders in industry and the maritime sector.
  • At times, you might lead engagement with industry groups.
Nōu te rourou | What you bring

  • Training and qualification in engagement frameworks and disciplines, preferably IAP2, or a willingness to undertake this training.
  • Experience in developing engagement strategies gained within a dynamic environment and ideally knowledge of engagement theories.
  • A desire to support others to engage well and in a way that is meaningful for their job
  • Strong analytical skills and ability to problemsolve in complex environments with experience of using these to create insights that drive process improvement.
  • Experience in independently leading projects of work involving multiple objectives and diverse stakeholders in a fast changing environment.
  • Experience adapting working and communication style appropriately for different audiences and channels.
  • A positive attitude in all that you do to deliver shared outcomes with a strong user focus.
  • An awareness of cultural diversity in your approach to engagement.
Mōu | For you

Maritime NZ recognises and respects te Tiriti o Waitangi and we are committed to working with Māori to build strong, meaningful and enduring relationships to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.

We aim to be a workplace where everyone feels valued, supported with a sense of belonging.

We encourage our people to actively contribute to our workplace culture where we all thrive and authentically live our MNZ values.

Upon joining us you'll receive a full range of benefits including Income Protection and Life Insurance so check out our full range on our careers page to find out more about why we love working here.

Salary range $111,162 to $135,865 depending on skills and experience + superannuation.
