Qualifications and experience in the building sector will be held in high regard with a minimum of two years' experience and a level 4 qualification in the building/trade sector. If this is you, you may be exempt from the above regulations.
Above all else you will be a team player who knows how to connect and maintain relationships with customers and other Council staff, knows how to get things done, have empathy for the challenges and risks faced by building consent applicants, while keeping a steady eye on the requirements.
Applicants for this position must be legally entitled to work in New Zealand, therefore must have NZ residency or hold a valid NZ work visa. In terms of residence class visa applications, priority will be given where the applicant is in New Zealand.
