The LVVTA is contracted to administer modified vehicle standards and the Low Volume Vehicle certification system on behalf of Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency.

**Basic job description**
The complexity of this role presents an opportunity second to none in terms of variety and scope. Such a role is rare to emerge in the NZ Motor industry. At its core this is a management role leading a team of technical advisers, technical training staff, certifying support and administrators in a technically complex and interesting environment.

This role manages 8 of the 12 full time LVVTA staff.

- Provide support and assistance to technical staff in relation to complaints about LVV Certifier performance and service

**The skills sought**
You will need prior experience managing and leading technical teams, perhaps in the capacity of Service Manager, Technical Manager, National Technical Manager or similar, or former technical leadership of vehicle certification, compliance, or regulatory management related roles.

A level 4 motor industry national certificate, and/ or a mechanical engineering degree. An understanding of vehicle structure is also valuable, as would knowledge of certification, compliance, or regulatory processes.

The ability to express your thoughts confidently in writing is important. You will need to be comfortable relaying training and technical information across various levels. Good general IT skills across Microsoft Office Suite and various internal and external online systems are also needed.

**The challenge and rewards**
This lucrative six figure plus salaried role provides for a 5-day working week. The content of travel is just enough to be pleasant.

The LVVTA team will prove stable with long employment tenures common. Strong work relationships exist between the team with staff events further enhancing the enjoyment of the role.

For those with a genuine interest in unique and/or performance vehicles, it would be hard to discover an equivalent role anywhere in NZ with such variety and complexity providing the challenge and rewards presented in this role.
