About the role
We are looking for a Building Officer to join our Environment & Sustainability group to help us achieve our ambitious plans for the Hutt Valley in 2025.

There are plans for 6000 new homes to be constructed in the Hutt Valley by 2032 and growing industrial and commercial sector, so we are needing experienced professionals to grow our team, ensuring we have the capability and resource to make this a reality.

About You
