Ko te aha ā mātou mahi?  / What work do we do?

We work together with tangata whenua and communities to care for the incredible environment and many communities in our rohe, matching our skills and resources with the visions and aspirations of our people. We work to protect and restore healthy waters and our native taonga, through meaningful partnerships with tangata whenua and communities, and to build more resilient and adaptable communities in a changing climate. Here at Te Kaunihera ā rohe o Te Taitokerau | NRC, your mahi makes a real difference to our communities.

Toitū te whenua, toitū te moana, toitū te tangata. If the land is well, if the sea is well, the people will thrive.    
 
Te āheinga / The opportunity

In this role you will support the Facilities and Fleet Manager in overseeing the council’s vehicle fleet, field equipment, and office facilities. From coordinating vehicle and building and maintenance, to ensuring procurement aligns with council policies, your work will help keep operations running smoothly. You will play a key role in maintaining secure, clean, and well-furnished workspaces, supporting regional offices, and occasionally assisting with canteen and catering logistics.

Your attention to detail will be vital as you help manage a robust vehicle maintenance program, ensuring all vehicles are roadworthy and safety compliant. You will collaborate with the Health and Safety team on incident reporting and insurance claims and serve as the point of contact for Garmin vehicle monitoring, security services, and Guardian Angel health and safety systems. This role includes a rotating on-call weekend duty—just one weekend per month—making it ideal for someone who thrives in a hands-on, varied environment.

He kōrero mōu / About you

We’re looking for a candidate with proven experience in a similar role who thrives on delivering exceptional customer service. You’ll be someone who consistently goes above and beyond to ensure both internal teams and external partners have a positive experience when engaging with vehicle and facilities-related services. Your ability to communicate clearly, respond promptly, and support others with a friendly, can-do attitude will be key to your success in this role.

Strong relationship-building skills are essential, as you’ll be working closely with a range of stakeholders to maintain effective, professional partnerships. You’ll also need to be confident using Microsoft applications—particularly Word, Excel, and Outlook—to manage tasks efficiently and keep things running smoothly. If you're someone who takes pride in being helpful, organised, and proactive, we’d love to hear from you.
