- Experience working in the primary sector or related industry or science-based organisation.
- Experience and knowledge of tikanga Māori and Te Reo Māori principals to facilitate consultation processes and to effectively present information to different Māori groups.
- Well-developed organisational skills with ability to think ahead, prioritise and plan appropriately.
- Ability to identify and develop effective working relationships with people from all levels of an organisation and community.
- Methodical approach to problem solving with strong attention to detail.

You will be based in one of our Bay of Plenty offices which include Whakatāne, Tauranga or Rotorua. You will report to the Manager Climate and Water, and working with a supportive team of Advisers based in Hamilton, New Plymouth, Whakatāne, Palmerston North and Wellington. There will be travel required at times around the Bay of Plenty region, to connect with our partners, regional teams and attend industry events.
