Monitoring during the defects liability period.
Approving the release of uncompleted works and maintenance bonds.
Regularly reviewing the Engineering Code of Practice.
Managing and growing strong working relationships with developers and contractors.
Communicating with customers.

This role would suit someone down to earth, who likes a challenge and is prepared to go the extra mile to achieve a good outcome. The role would be well suited to someone who is happy being self-directed but is also comfortable working as part of a team. This role has so much room for growth and opportunity.
The successful applicant should tick most of the following:

Experience with landscaping designs and reports.
Skilled in landscaping design/construction standards and specifications.
Excellent relationship management skills with a variety of stakeholders (consultants, developers, customers, contractors).
Landscaping design and/or construction experience, ideally you have experience working with landscaping on Public Parks/Reserves, streetscapes, and stormwater management areas.
Experience working with resource consents.
Experience with document management and process documentation.
