**Te kāinga rua | The opportunity**

In this Personal Assistant role, you will support our International Manager - Pacific and our Business Director for Climate Change Risk and Adaptation, enabling them to do what they do best, knowing they have the support they need to help schedule their time, coordinate their meetings, and progress the initiatives on which they and their teams are focused.

There is a genuine opportunity to be involved, establishing enduring relationships and contributing to projects which positively impact the future of the regions we work in, including New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific.

Coordinating and attending meetings (including Board level), you’ll record minutes and proactively progress actions arising. The right person will continue to shape the role, contributing ideas and creativity to presentations, communications, team development and proposals that help win work within New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific region.

Bringing meaning to the words “values-based business”, these leaders are committed to positive actions - examples include contribution as part of Beca’s Transport and Infrastructure leadership group and actively promoting options for flexible/reduced hours work preferences (as aligning with team priorities). Part of this role will be about continuing to foster, enhance and celebrate this culture of inclusivity and empowering people - critical to team performance and fulfilment.
