Gisborne District Council is working together with communities to make our aspirations happen. Tairawhiti is the first place to see the light and we’re working to transform our region to be the first choice for people and lifestyle, the first place for environment, economy and culture.

Working alongside our planners and directly with developers will ensure that you have significant input and can make a positive contribution to Tairāwhiti future. This role will excite those who have excellent communication and relationship management skills.

To be successful in this role you will have:

  • Engineering based degree.
  • Geotechnical related degree.
  • Customer service experience.
  • Previous Local Government experience may be an advantage.

We can offer you unique and varied work with our high-performing team, a brand new collaborative and modern work space and a great lifestyle living in sunny Gisborne.
