Lower Hutt, New Zealand Airways Full time

**Firstly, a bit about us**

Airways provides air traffic management services across 30 million square kilometres - this is one of the largest areas of airspace in the world. Our people manage this airspace by providing air traffic control, surveillance, communication, flight inspection, mapping and airspace design services. We work with government, regulatory authorities, airlines, airports and the general aviation community to ensure pilots, passengers and goods reach their destination - safely. At Airways, our values underpin all that we do. We value Safety, Each Other, Excellence and Success.

**About the role**

We have an exciting opportunity for a Tower Operations Manager to join our Air Traffic Services team in Wellington. This is a new role which requires extensive experience in Aviation, fantastic people leadership and strong operational knowledge. Reporting to the Head of Aerodrome Services, this role is responsible for overseeing the safe and efficient delivery of Air Traffic Services at Wellington, Palmerston North, RNZAF Ohakea Tower, Napier and Gisborne Towers, ensuring the full engagement and development of the unit controllers/flight service staff, and creating strong working relationships with internal and external customers and stakeholders.

**About you**

Ideally you will have Aviation experience, extensive knowledge of Airport operations and Air Navigation Services and associated legislative framework. You will be an experienced people leader, skilled at motivating and empowering others to work effectively to achieve business unit, group, and organisational goals.

As an outstanding and natural communicator, you will have the maturity and confidence to interact with people from all walks of life and your stakeholder relationship skills will be second to none. This role at times can be complex, so we need someone with a collaborative and inclusive work style who can navigate our operational and governance landscapes.

In addition, you will have:

- Extensive leadership experience with an ability to lead multi shift workers in a dynamic environment
- Proven experience managing operational teams. Ideally in a critical service role or operational shift workers role
- Previous ATC experience, ideally within NZ or other equivalent overseas location would be advantageous

**Our Values**:
At Airways, our values underpin all that we do. We value Safety, Each Other, Excellence and Success.

Airways is committed to reflecting the diversity of Aotearoa and creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace where people feel they belong and can be their authentic self at work. To achieve this, we are working hard to gain our Rainbow Tick Accreditation to ensure Airways is a safe and welcoming workplace for all employees.

This is a great opportunity to be influential in a new role and make it your own. This is a full-time position based at the Wellington Airport, with free onsite parking as a perk
