Christchurch, New Zealand Christchurch City Council Full time

**Are you passionate about coastal hazards? Do you want to help Christchurch City Council, rūnanga and communities adapt to the future challenges caused by sea level rise?**

Our Council's Coastal Hazards Adaptation Planning programme is looking for two Senior Adaptation Advisors to develop, lead and implement workstreams for communities that will be impacted by coastal flooding, erosion and rising groundwater. Find out more about the Coastal Hazards Adaptation Planning programme here.

We are looking for people with the skills and experience necessary to design and deliver adaptation planning processes that align with relevant policies and support the needs of the communities. You will have a strong ability to communicate coastal hazard risk, a demonstrated ability to work with a range of stakeholders, and you will relish working collaboratively in a fast-paced team environment.

You will have experience and/or knowledge of the technical and policy processes necessary to develop adaptation pathways and an understanding of the importance of considering impacts across the wellbeings (environmental, social, cultural). You will be comfortable commissioning and providing oversight of relevant technical work and providing advice and guidance on coastal hazards to inform planning and policy development across Council. In this emerging field, you must be comfortable with ambiguity and able to identify solutions to challenges. Most of all you will have a focus on delivering adaptation plans that prepare us for the effects of coastal hazards on our communities, infrastructure and environment.
