If the land is well and the sea is well, the people will thrive

The Department of Conservation Te Papa Atawhai (DOC) serves to protect and sustain nature across Aotearoa. We put nature and people at the heart of our mahi, guided by te reo Māori, te ao Māori and Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We do this by:

- A very strong team player with ability to build and sustain productive relationships across DOC and with external stakeholders.
- Excellent communicator, confident in engaging at all levels in the Department, and tailoring written and verbal communication tools to a range of audiences.
- Proven ability to bring teams together and drive towards planned outputs.
- Ability and agility to plan, organise, and reprioritise work to meet timeframes.
- Knowledge of the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi.
- A relevant post graduate degree in ecology or biological sciences highly desirable but not essential, depending on experience and expertise.
- Current New Zealand driver licence.

This position is office-based with the opportunity for occasional field work. Travel will be required within New Zealand from time-to-time.

- terrestrial, threats, marine, and freshwater.

Ngā āhuatanga kei a mātou | What's in it for you?
