We cover the entire Auckland region and are passionate about preventing and minimising environmental risks to land, air, and water, whilst promoting sustainable development in a fast-growing city.
This role has a specialist focus on earthworks and streamworks, where you will monitor activities to prevent impacts of soil erosion, sedimentation, and dust from earthworks, that can potentially pollute streams, lakes, and harbours, and pose risks to freshwater and marine vegetation and animals.
Your time will predominantly be spent on-site to determine any potential areas of non-compliance and assess the impacts of these against statutory requirements, with a focus on the effects to the environment and the community. You will be responsible for undertaking enforcement action (where required), providing advice and education to consent holders, industry and helping our customers to understand and comply with their consent requirements.
This role is based at our Central office with an emphasis on South Auckland consents. This full-time permanent role works 40 hours per week Monday to Friday.
