Porirua, New Zealand Porirua City Council Full time

We are on the lookout for two planning superstars to lead the way and guide the development of both our Long-term Plan (10-year budget & direction) as well as Annual Plan and Annual Report. Councils have obligations to deliver these projects under legislation, but with many changes coming to local government, it is critical that throughout this, Council’s strategic direction is clear and incorporated into all of our plans.

We are seeking two capable project managers, who can think on their feet, understand local government, and thrive in a fast-paced environment. Both roles will need to have exceptional communication skills, be confident in presenting to a diverse range of audiences and be highly organised.

You’ll join a passionate and supportive team of policy professionals who are passionate about the communities they serve.
