**Are you passionate about climate adaptation? Is understanding risk your thing? Do you want to help Christchurch City Council, rūnanga and communities adapt to future challenges?**

You will have a strong ability to understand and communicate risk, a demonstrated ability to work with a range of stakeholders, a background in research and environmental sciences, and you will relish working collaboratively in a fast-paced team environment.

You will have experience and/or knowledge of the technical and policy processes necessary to develop adaptation pathways and an understanding of the importance of considering impacts across the wellbeings (environmental, social, cultural). You will be comfortable commissioning and providing oversight of relevant technical work and providing advice and guidance on climate hazards to inform planning and policy development across Council. In this emerging field you must be comfortable with ambiguity and able to identify solutions to challenges.
