We have an exciting opportunity for an
Environmental Advisor to join our passionate Te Ao Tūroa (Natural Environment) team, within the wider Strategy and Environment Group of the Office of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu.


Te Ao Tūroa's main focus across the Ngāi Tahu takiwā (area) includes planning processes, state of the environment, heritage protection, tribal properties, the management of taonga resources, conservation, climate change and mahinga kai.

As an Environmental Advisor, you will provide advice supporting the Te Ao Tūroa work programme.

The role will have a particular focus on supporting Papatipu Rūnanga to strengthen kaitiakitanga and build their environmental capacity, assisting the delivery of our climate change strategy and providing Ngāi Tahu external representatives (for example, on Conservation Boards and Species Recovery Groups) with support and advice.


Developing and maintaining effective working relationships with Papatipu Rūnanga and/or their regional environmental entities, government agencies and stakeholders will be a critical function of this role.


We are seeking an individual with:

  • 1-3+ years' of resource management experience, with a demonstrated track record.
  • Knowledge and understanding of New Zealand policy and law as it relates to this position
  • Proven ability to develop and maintain constructive relationships with internal and external stakeholders
  • Well developed written and verbal communication skills
  • Ideally have project management experience
  • A relevant tertiary degree
  • A full drivers licence


The successful applicant will have a strong affinity for the needs and aspirations of our ultimate stakeholders, Ngāi Tahu Whānui.

Alongside this, they will have an understanding of, or an eagerness to, learn and engage with Ngāi Tahu values and te reo Māori.


Mō mātou - About us


The Office of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu is a dynamic organisation that exists to ensure that the benefits of the Settlement are enjoyed by Ngāi Tahu Whānui now and for future generations _"Mō tātou, ā, mō kā uri ā muri ake nei" (for us and our children after us).

_

We pride ourselves on being a values-led organisation, investing in the professional and cultural development of our kaimahi (employees). You will have a unique opportunity to strengthen your understanding of te reo Māori and tikanga.

We offer a supportive, dynamic and excellence driven workplace where we embrace diversity and inclusion.

As a flexible employer we are happy to discuss options that may work for you and the business to support a work-life balance and the needs of your whānau.

We would also consider secondments, part time working arrangements and employees being based at locations outside of Christchurch.


Some additional benefits at Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu include te reo language and kapa haka tutorials, medical and life insurance, on-site parking, and if required, relocation assistance.
