About the role:
As a Ranger/Project Lead Community (Statutory), you will use your expertise in statutory processes, community engagement, partnership building, and project management to lead cross-functional teams in achieving critical conservation outcomes. You'll be part of an energetic and hard-working regional statutory team, supporting and delivering statutory work and building/maintaining community relationships. You will be unpicking legislation and statutory planning documents, researching the conservation values of public conservation land, assessing applications, and providing often detailed advice to managers and decision-makers.

This will involve collaborating closely with iwi, local authorities, NGOs, and other key stakeholders to leverage collective efforts and deliver measurable results.

Liaise with team members across the Department to understand and incorporate their expertise in the advice provided to managers and decision-makers.
Provide high-quality input on Resource Management Act processes, including describing affected conservation values and recommending outcomes to avoid/minimise the effects on these values.
Monitor commercial or private activity on public conservation land.
Mentor and support the work and skill development of others.
Provide support for statutory land management functions.
Promote the value of local, regional, and national conservation initiatives.
Provide administrative, liaison, and advocacy support to projects that seek to achieve more conservation through greater involvement of iwi, business, and the wider community.
Build and maintain effective partnerships with iwi, local authorities, conservation groups, and other stakeholders.
Represent DOC and coordinate cross-agency initiatives within your area of responsibility.
Skills and Experience:
Significant practical experience working in a statutory environment, community engagement, and project management.
Excellent interpersonal and relationship-building skills, with a proven ability to work successfully with tangata whenua and a range of partners.
Strong conceptual and critical analysis skills, able to distill key information from complex data.
Strong business writing and public communication abilities.
Tertiary qualification or equivalent knowledge in Resource or Environmental Management, Legal studies, or Project Management.
Full New Zealand Drivers Licence.
Understanding of the Maori-Crown relationship and the ability to engage effectively with iwi.
Solid IT skills, including proficiency with database systems.
A good understanding of te ao Maori me nga tikanga.
Experience planning and executing medium complexity projects.
Knowledge of the Conservation Act, Reserves Act, Resource Management Act, and other relevant statutory requirements.
A proactive mindset with excellent organisational skills, and ability to prioritise competing demands and tight deadlines.
Ability to interpret and apply legislation, policy, and management documents.
Experience working in a regulatory environment.
If you have the skills, expertise, and passion to lead complex statutory work and drive conservation outcomes, we'd love to hear from you. Even if you don't tick all the boxes but believe your skills and experience closely align, then we still encourage you to apply.
What's in it for you?
