Our work is ultimately about working together to care for our region’s incredible environment and many communities, matching our skills and resources with the vision and aspirations of our people.

Here at the Northland Regional Council your work makes a difference to our community.
Toitū te whenua, toitū te moana, toitū te tangata.
If the land is well, if the sea is well, the people will thrive.
The opportunity awaits…
Based in stunning Northland, this role will support the Land Management Team to build high trust relationships with Tangata Whenua as part of the Hill Country Erosion Programme.

We'll consider it.
What's in it for you?
Just as you care about your community and environment, NRC cares about you and we are committed to the wellbeing of our people.

We celebrate our efforts as a team and recognise every individual for their contribution and dedication to their mahi.
We understand the importance of flexibility, so we’re committed to alternative working arrangements for our people.
We have a range of flexible work arrangements that we can consider to suit the varied lifestyles of our people.
