**Senior Advisor, Infrastructure Resilience**

Fixed term 24 months

Wellington-based role

Develop and maintain strategic national CDEM planning framework doctrine/guidance for lifeline utilities/critical infrastructure stakeholders

**Ko wai mātou | About us**

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) provides national leadership to New Zealand's distributed emergency management system. NEMA's primary focus is on the performance and capability of the emergency management system as a whole, across all hazards and all risks and the 4 Rs of risk reduction, readiness, response and recovery.

NEMA values diversity and inclusion. We want our workforce to reflect the diversity of our communities. We value and respect the contributions of our people with diverse backgrounds, experiences, skills and perspectives. We support flexible ways of working that bring out the best in you.

We are committed to doing our part to deliver on the Crown's commitments to Māori under Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We strive to actively build te Ao Māori perspectives and capability into our day to day work, values and practices.

**Mō tēnei tūranga mahi | About this role**

In this role you will be:

- Developing and maintaining strategic national CDEM planning framework doctrine and guidance for lifeline utilities/critical infrastructure stakeholders.
- Supporting delivery of the lifeline utilities/critical infrastructure work programme with a strong focus on advocating for risk reduction, readiness, response and recovery practices in the infrastructure sector.
- Working on the Lifelines function when the National Crisis Management Centre (NCMC) is activated.

This position sits in the Planning and Sector Partnerships Unit. The unit is responsible for developing and maintaining New Zealand's national emergency management planning framework and partnering with social and infrastructure sectors to build resilience across the 4 Rs of risk reduction, readiness, response and recovery in support of communities.

As NEMA is an operational agency, there may be a requirement to respond to emergency activations in the event of a national emergency response. This may include potentially long hours and challenging working conditions, e.g. an emergency could occur at any time of the day or night and may require working shifts and/or working weekends**.** NEMA provides thorough training prior to you being required to assist in a response. NEMA will do all in its power to support staff in meeting their work and family responsibilities during an emergency. The welfare and wellbeing of our staff is of upmost importance.

**Due to the nature of our role in Emergency Management, NEMA has a very dynamic work environment and as a small agency, staff are often required to pivot and change focus on their work at short notice. Attributes of adaptability, agility, resilience and curiosity are all required on a daily basis, in and out of times of emergency response.**

- Agility, curiosity, adaptability and resilience
- Great networker and influencer with high level collaboration and relationship management skills.
- Self-starter, able to work independently and contribute to unit strategy
- An ability to manoeuvre through complex organisational and political situations
- An ability to operate effectively in a high stress environment and deliver high quality work output under pressure
- The discretion and tact to handle confidential and private information

**Huanga Whaiaro | Key requirements**
- A tertiary qualification in emergency management or related discipline OR an equivalent body of knowledge and experience.
- Experience or skills working in multi-stakeholder coordination roles.
- Experience in developing and implementing operational plans
- Experience in the development of strategic frameworks, national guidance and advice
- Excellent communication skills, with an ability to review Cabinet papers, present/brief to various audiences, write useful guidance/advice and explain complex topics clearly.

**Ta matou e tuku | What we offer**

We pride ourselves on the quality of our staff and understand the importance of fostering a working environment where excellence is recognised and where staff are encouraged to develop their own talents and potential. We welcome diversity, in all its forms and we believe it is a strength.
