Biodiversity Team Leader

Rangiora

October 14, 2024

  • Are you an inquisitive, solution & people focused leader?
  • Do you have experience in managing projects and programs of work around Biodiversity?
  • Do you seek the challenges of working on strategic outcomes for our community and environment?
Waimakariri District is one of the fastest growing Districts in New Zealand and the third largest, by population, in the South Island. This brings with it abundant challenges across a diverse range of areas. We promise to be professional, approachable and solutions-focused when providing for our community.
The Waimakariri District Council are looking for a new Biodiversity Team Leader with the ability to work effectively across a wide range of issues and enable a customer-focused environment. This is a fantastic opportunity for a motivated and skilled people leader with a background in biodiversity, community engagement, public space planning and strategy implementation to join a progressive and customer-focused Council.
We currently have some exciting projects underway within the implementation of the Natural Environment Strategy as well as our ongoing program of works across Greenspace and the wider Community and Recreation Group. The successful applicant will be a motivated individual to work with internal and external stakeholders.
In this technical leadership role you will offer high quality expertise across projects and programs of work for our environmental and natural parks network. As well as input into the growth strategy for the District, lead by example through the delivery of a customer-focused service, and manage key stakeholder relationships.
To be successful in this position you will need to have a solutions focused attitude with the ability to work with various stakeholders with conflicting interests. An understanding of biodiversity, managing engagement processes, strategy development and program management would also be an advantage.
Applicants will be highly motivated team players who are well organised and committed to providing excellent service and quality results. In recognition of this, a very competitive salary is offered. This is a fantastic opportunity for a motivated and skilled professional.
The Council offers a challenging work environment where you really make a difference. Only 20 minutes north of Christchurch, Waimakariri District offers small town and rural lifestyles with a range of outdoor recreation activities on your doorstep but with the advantages of a big city nearby. Whatever your choice of living environment it is readily available and affordable.
