Environment Technical Officer – Living Streams

Positions like this one don’t come around very often—so, if you have the experience and the skills, this is your chance to join a fabulous organisation while helping spearhead an innovative community programme.
Living Streams is a five-year old pilot project, born of Environment Southland’s environmental management vision. By integrating water science and community engagement, Living Streams aims to improve water quality in the region’s streams and rivers. The success of Living Streams comes down to positive and proactive Council-community partnerships.
We’re seeking someone with 2-3 years of experience in environmental data collection and processing, a strong environmental ethic, and heaps of team spirit.
You will also have strong science communication skills (as you’ll be talking to lots of people in the Council and community about water quality). You will manage environmental data efficiently and write excellent reports. You’ll be committed to innovation, community engagement and promoting public understanding of the science of water quality.
So if you’ve got an outstanding work ethic and professional standard, we would love to hear from you.
If you’re looking for a job that will excite you and challenge you every day, and that will leave Southland’s environment cleaner and healthier, then you may be the person we’re looking for. Let’s find out!
