Gisborne, New Zealand LGJobs Full time

This significant strategic infrastructure leadership role sits at the heart of Gisborne’s community wellbeing. As Director of Community Lifelines, reporting to the Chief Executive of Gisborne District Council, your remit spans the leadership, response management and operational optimisation of the three waters (drinking water, storm water and wastewater), river management and flood control and the vital roading infrastructure assets right across Tairáwhiti.

Recent weather events have further reinforced to us all, the significance of these community lifelines - the right leader here will have a huge impact; steering a team of approximately 60 across this hub, as well as an extensive network of external contractors.

To be successful you will ideally have managed and led teams in relevant engineering and infrastructure environments and relate to and understand local government, community engagement and you’ll recognise the importance of the role as a Treaty Partner, and how this underpins Gisborne District Council’s work. You must also be able to demonstrate capability in providing professional and integrated activity planning to ensure the Council’s capital works and maintenance programmes meet the infrastructural and service level needs of the community.

The nature, scope and community impact of this executive infrastructure leadership opportunity will be an exceptional career move for the right person. Excellent remuneration reflects the scope this role. If you have the experience and leadership qualities we’re looking for and think you can steer Gisborne District Council through the next phase of infrastructure asset management, strategy, and implementation, then we would love to hear from you. **For more information on this role, call the Populous People team for a confidential discussion on 06 875 8446, or to apply, send your CV and cover letter through the link in this portal.
