Mō te tūnga | About the role
We are looking for an Environment Officer to become a member of our Biodiversity team within Environment Services. Our Biodiversity Strategy describes our vision for Taranaki ecosystems, species and our community. The four priorities for action are; working with landowners to protect and manage priority sites, building on Council programmes, working collectively with others to achieve biodiversity outcomes and information management and gathering. The role of Environment Officer –Biodiversity has three main areas of responsibility; managing site-led protection programmes, biodiversity monitoring and providing guidance on biodiversity protection.
It goes without saying that we need an Environment Officer who brings energy, enthusiasm and excellent project management skills. Great communication skills and the ability to build and maintain effective working relationships are essential. There is no typical day but expect to have plenty of variety. You'll be based in our office in Stratford so you can connect and collaborate with your team. However, you'll spend loads of time out in the Taranaki region connecting with the many different community stakeholders - whether that's in the forest, on the coast, in rural areas or urban centres.
