At the Otago Regional Council (ORC), our goal is to protect and enhance the environment and enable our communities to do the same. So that we can deliver on our responsibilities, we're not overstating when we say we have some big targets to reach. We need the right people, in the right roles, to help us get there. In return, we offer a positive and inclusive organisational culture, where work/life balance is both respected and valued.
Otago's a pretty special place, covering a vast area - the third largest local government region in New Zealand. Those who call Otago home enjoy access to mountains, coastal lowlands, dramatic rivers and wild beaches. Our environment here is part of who we are, and at ORC, we work each day to look after it.
