Full time, fixed term role until June 2025, based out of Sockburn/Mahaanui Office, Christchurch.

Te Oranga o te Ao Turoa | Our vision: Nature is thriving in Aotearoa

The Department of Conservation Te Papa Atawhai (DOC) serves to protect and restore nature spaces and species across Aotearoa.

Tangata whenua are inextricably linked to the whenua and te taiao, and we desire a future where whanau, hapu and iwi can thrive in their role as rangatira and kaitiaki.

He angituatanga | About the role

This is an opportunity to join a team who work across three projects – Kahuria Te Waihora, Weed Strikeforce, and One Billion Trees. Each project has independent funding which we've combined to create full time work. The aim of all three projects is to protect and enhance the indigenous biodiversity of Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere.

The tasks are physically demanding and are often situated in un-tracked wetlands where environmental conditions can be harsh. Although physically demanding, the work can be incredibly rewarding as we continue to make a positive change at a landscape scale on the margins of Te Waihora.

This role will be focussed on:

ecological weed control

animal pest control

eco-sourced planting

plant maintenance

This is a full time (40 hours per week), fixed term role ending in June 2025. Standard hours: Monday to Friday 7:30 am to 4 pm.
