Implementation Director, Water Regulation
4 weeks ago
New Zealand is embarking on a major reform programme to deliver affordable water for current and future generations. The Commerce Commission is New Zealand's leading economic regulator of essential infrastructure and water infrastructure will be a major priority for us.
Ko mātou tēnei | Who we are
Te Komihana Tauhokohoko | The Commerce Commission is Aotearoa New Zealand's competition, fair trading, consumer credit and economic regulatory agency. Our mission is to make New Zealanders better off today and in the future by ensuring our markets work well and consumers and businesses are confident participants in those markets. Our Infrastructure Regulation branch currently regulates electricity, gas, and fibre broadband infrastructure, together with Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch airports.
We all need safe, reliable water. As part of the Government's affordable water reforms, water infrastructure assets across the motu are being merged into 10 new ‘water services entities', the first of which is expected to be operational from mid-2024. As part of those reforms, the Commission has been given powers to review and provide comment on the asset management and funding and pricing plans for these new entities, and legislation to make the Commission the economic regulator and consumer protection authority for water is expected to be passed very shortly.
Following an internal promotion which reflects the Commission's commitment to development, we are looking for a strategic leader to take on the challenge of this critical director role and lead a team planning and implementing the economic regulation of water and ensuring we are actively engaged with iwi, hapu and communities across Aotearoa New Zealand. The role can be based in our either our Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington) or Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) office and we have team members in both offices. This role is initially for a fixed term of twelve months and is also available as a secondment.
