Hamilton, Waikato, New Zealand humanlogix Full time NZ$80,000 - NZ$120,000 per year

The New Zealand Mines Rescue Service (NZMRS) is a NZQA-accredited PTE dedicated to saving lives through emergency preparedness, response, and specialist training for high-risk industries. They deliver nationally recognised programmes that set the benchmark for safety, professionalism, and performance.

Reporting to the CEO, you will lead NZMRS's training function, ensuring programmes are high-quality, NZQA compliant and responsive to evolving sector needs. You'll manage the training team, drive programme development and review, maintain accreditation and consent-to-assess, and contribute to strategic growth by identifying new training opportunities and expanding commercial activities.

An insight to the role

  • Lead the design, delivery, and quality assurance of all NZMRS training programmes.
  • Maintain NZQA Category 1 PTE compliance and accreditation, including programme approvals, moderation, and reporting.
  • Identify new training, client, and partnership opportunities, and grow commercial training activities in collaboration with the CEO.
  • Oversee the student management system, learner feedback, and continuous improvement of training quality and outcomes.
  • Provide leadership, guidance, and professional development to a skilled training team including the Training Coordinator and Contract Trainers.
  • Ensure effective engagement with key clients, levy-paying organisations, and industry stakeholders.

About you

An experienced training professional with proven leadership experience in an NZQA-accredited setting, you'll have a deep understanding of compliance and quality assurance, and the ability to influence at both an operational and strategic level. You'll also bring:

  • Strong working knowledge of NZQA, programme accreditation, and quality management systems.
  • A tertiary qualification in Adult Education, Training, or equivalent experience in a PTE or tertiary environment.
  • Experience leading teams and developing high-performing training functions.
  • Strategic and commercial awareness, with a genuine interest in identifying new opportunities to drive expansion of industry relationships and sectors.
  • Recognised for your exceptional communication and relationship management skills, you have the ability to engage confidently with clients, regulators and internal teams.
  • Knowledge or appreciation of emergency management, extractives, or other high-risk industries would be advantageous but not essential.

This is a rare chance to lead, shape, and make a real impact on the safety and capability of people across New Zealand's high-risk industries.

Preferred locations include West Coast, Canterbury, Waikato and Auckland regions.
