2 weeks ago


Auckland City, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time

Lead a dedicated team in protecting the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park and enhancing its marine health.
- Inspire growth by developing a high-performing team through targeted training and development goals.
- Contribute to groundbreaking legislation with the Hauraki Gulf Marine Protection Bill, making a lasting impact on marine conservation.

**Our vision: Nature is thriving in Aotearoa | Te Oranga o te Ao Tūroa**

The Department of Conservation Te Papa Atawhai (DOC) serves to protect and restore nature spaces and species across Aotearoa.

Join us in protecting and revitalising the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park, New Zealand's first marine park and only national park of the sea. Covering 1.4 million hectares, it's more than 20 times the size of Lake Taupō and includes the Waitematā Harbour, Gulf Islands, Firth of Thames, and the east coast of the Coromandel Peninsula. Renowned as the seabird capital of the world and a vital whale superhighway, this marine park is intensively used and located right on the doorstep of our most populated city.

The proposed Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana Marine Protection Bill aims to establish new marine protection areas to enhance the Gulf's marine health. This bespoke legislation will be the first of its kind in Aotearoa and is part of the broader Revitalising the Gulf programme.

**He angitūtanga | About the role**

As Supervisor within the newly formed Auckland Marine Team, you will lead a dedicated group of 8-10 marine rangers. These team members possess highly specialised field skills (such as skippers and divers) or be on their journey to acquire them. Achieving these challenging skills can take 2-12 months or more, so your tenacity, patience, and ability to keep the team motivated will be essential.

In this role, you will:

- supervise and develop a high-performing team, ensuring their safety, wellbeing, and professional growth
- create and implement SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) goals to provide direction and accountability, fostering a sense of accomplishment within the team
- organise training and development plans, recognising that team members will be at varying levels of expertise
- recruit and induct new team members, ensuring a smooth integration into the team
- collect content for use across various platforms, including social media, web pages, and newsletters
- manage competing priorities, demands and identify solutions for critical pressures
- implement the planning, phasing, and tracking of work programmes
- prioritise health and safety in all aspects of team operations.

This role involves travel, so you must be flexible to travel and work away from home for several days at a time as needed.

**Ngā pūkenga me ngā wheako | Skills and Experience**

We are looking for someone who is passionate about the Hauraki Gulf and its revitalization. You'll be a strong people manager with experience leading high-performing teams. Your organisational skills will be crucial in managing a diverse team with varying levels of development and training.
