Thames-Coromandel District Council

Circular Economy Student Intern

PART TIME

September 17, 2024

At Waipā District Council we are looking for a student intern who is passionate about creating change and supporting our circular economy.
There are four paid positions available in the Waikato region, with the following territorial authorities:
  • Hamilton City Council
  • Waikato District Council
  • Waipā District Council
  • South Waikato District Council
Circular Economy - What's It All About?
We want to go beyond reducing waste - we want to design it out! This is essential for our future resource security, carbon reduction and for preventing waste from ending up in landfill.
Central and local government are investing to improve our resource use and kick start a circular economy. This creates an exciting and growing field for research and innovation, with plenty of opportunities to support change management, and bring new systems and ideas to life.

The Internship
We want to support a new generation of sustainability change-makers to explore fresh ideas for the benefit of our local communities. These success stories will be used to inspire others and shape future work.
On offer is an opportunity to combine the theoretical knowledge from your course of study with creative thinking, as you develop and bring to life a new circular economy project. This will be done with the guidance and support of a passionate and experienced team within your local council.
All positions will run between February 2025 to February 2026, working 10 hours a week during the semester and up to 30 hours a week during the holidays.
This will involve a mixture of working from home and the office.

About You
The opportunity is open to New Zealand Citizen and Residents, who are enrolled for tertiary study in the Waikato region for 2025. Applications from tertiary students in any field of study are welcomed.
We are seeking students who have:
  • Enthusiasm and a strong interest in waste prevention and circular economy principles.
  • An organised approach and ability to manage projects.
  • A Class 1 Driver's Licence (Restricted or Full).


What's On Offer
  • Be paid to design, create and deliver your own circular economy project.
  • Develop and showcase skills employers value, using knowledge from your field of study.
  • Learn from a supportive mentor and get a grounding in local government.
  • Benefit from diverse learning opportunities, including fieldtrips, and being inspired as you connect with other interns, local businesses and sustainability champions.


Applications Close: 8 October 2024 at 5p.m.
Note:
  • Apply via this advertisement if you wish to apply for the internship specifically at Waipā District Council.
  • For further information regarding the internship programme across the Waikato region, head to: https://waikatoregion.govt.nz/circular-economy-internships/
