If you're eyeing up this role and believe you've got what it takes, please apply, or get in touch with the team.

You may notice that the Position Description title for this role **(Geospatial Specialist - Level Wha/4)** doesn't match the advertised title. At Toitū Te Whenua we design our roles around shared capabilities (rather than focusing on tasks). 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.
