  • Coordinating volunteer support, ensuring safe, positive and well-resourced community events
  • Managing community enquiries and complaints with professionalism, empathy and clear communication
  • Providing reporting, insights and recommendations that help lift performance and strengthen community trust
What you'll bring:
  • 3–5 years' experience in community engagement, local government, environmental/community organisations or a related field
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to connect with diverse audiences
  • Experience working with youth, mana whenua and Māori communities (highly valued)
  • Strong relationship management, conflict resolution and de-escalation skills
  • A warm, approachable style and a genuine passion for community outcomes
  • Confidence working outdoors and visiting sites as part of engagement activity
  • Highly organised, proactive and values-driven
  • Proficiency in spoken and written Te Reo Maori would be preferred
What's on offer:

Along with working within a company that has been an industry leader for more than 30 years, you will receive:

  • A performance-based salary that is reviewed annually
  • Annual $300 wellness benefit (after qualifying period) and work phone permitted for personal use
  • The opportunity to work in a role that gives back to the community
  • Internal and external learning and development opportunities with the ability to progress your career
