You may notice that the Position Description title for this role (Kairūri Taitara Whenua - Cadastral Surveyor - Level Toru/three) doesn't match the advertised title.

This means our position descriptions are broad, one position description can cover many roles, this is known as Broad Based Role (BBR).

Using BBR allows us to be responsive to our customers and to strengthen the connections across our organisation. It also gives us the flexibility to provide wider opportunities to our people, to further their careers.
