Auckland City, New Zealand Auckland Council Full time

**He angitūtanga: The opportunity**
Auckland Council has an ambitious goal of zero waste to landfill by 2040, and in 2023 rolled out a kerbside food scraps service as a key part of making that happen. The service will have an impact on climate change by diverting some of the 100,000 tonnes of food waste that currently go to landfills from kerbside rubbish bins.

Working with the Waste solutions team, you will lead and contribute to the design and development of customer-focused innovative solutions for the region. You’ll reach close to half a million households in the region and create and implement the blueprint for increasing diversion from landfill for organic material using existing and new processes. The anaerobic digestion technology used for processing the kerbside food scraps is a first for New Zealand and you will be working closely with the operating company to maximise the opportunity.

You will be liaising with internal and external stakeholders and will be managing key relationships for the department; to maximise social, environmental, cultural, and economic outcomes, and manage engagement with elected members, mana whenua, community groups, the waste sector, and other stakeholders.

**He kōrero mōu: About you**
To succeed in this opportunity, you will have proven experience in the organic industry for making a positive and ongoing difference using your technical knowledge and skills.

Strong presentation and interpersonal skills will be essential to success. Experience with procurement, project, and contract management as well as experience in the construction industry will be an advantage, but not essential.

**Ngā āhuatanga kei a mātou: What we offer**

Auckland Council is one of the largest local authorities in the South Pacific providing essential services and facilities to more than 1.5 million people. We are progressive socially, culturally, and environmentally while we work towards creating change having an impact on our journey to becoming a world-class city for our ratepayers and residents.

In return for your hard work, you will be rewarded with a competitive salary and be a part of a friendly and collaborative team that is dedicated to our customers. You will receive dedicated training and development to help build your career and on top of this, as part of our Auckland Council Group, you will gain access to many benefits and discounts.
