About the Role
The QEII National Trust is seeking a skilled and independent contractor to serve as our regional representative in the South Canterbury region. This role involves working closely with landowners to protect native biodiversity and other special values on private land, providing valuable ecological management advice and support, and assisting landowners in meeting their covenant stewardship obligations.
Company Overview
We are an independent charitable organisation that partners with private landowners to protect sites on their land with covenants. A covenant is an agreement between QEII and a landowner to protect land forever. The landowner continues to own and manage the protected land, and the covenant and protection stays on the land, even when the property is sold to a new owner.
Key Responsibilities
The successful applicant will work in field-based assessments of the values and threats present and prepare information for consideration by the executive. They will also work closely with our ecological and legal advisors in the Wellington office. A sound ecological understanding of our indigenous flora, fauna, and the threats they face within Canterbury is desirable. Additionally, the ability to build lasting partnerships across multiple sectors, including regional councils, territorial authorities, iwi, and local community groups, is necessary.
Required Skills and Qualifications
A proven ability to apply practical and resourceful land management solutions would be an advantage. Experience working with landowners and accessing and working in remote backcountry areas is also beneficial. The successful South Canterbury applicant would be engaged as an independent contractor for up to 900 hours per year.
Benefits
The successful applicant would supply a home/office set-up and a suitable vehicle with mileage reimbursed based on the IRD rate. We offer a unique opportunity to contribute to the protection of biodiversity and heritage on private land in New Zealand.
