The Customs Maritime Unit provides coverage 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

This is not a nine-to-five job. You'll be on the water for long periods and you'll work on a roster, which means weekend work and odd hours when required. We understand the importance of life outside of work.

The salary range for this role is $75,971 - $96,013 plus an allowance of $15,640.

On an annual basis, Customs Maritime Officers are required to pass a comprehensive medical assessment and pass a fitness test to the following standard;
- Beep test to 5.1 standard and 10 press-ups
- 50-metre swim in overalls, tread water for 3 minutes.

**Security Clearances**:
You must have a background history that is verifiable and can be assessed as appropriate by the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service towards a recommendation of suitability for security clearance at a higher level. Already having Secret clearance is a benefit, but not a requirement.

Due to the nature of Customs work you must have a clear Police record. Successful applicants are also required to pass a medical assessment and drug test and must hold a full NZ Drivers' licence.

**Hours of Work**:
This position is a full-time position (2088 hours per annum) worked flexibly, within a rostered work pattern, or flexible hours, to enable coverage for 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
