We're working for Wellington. Wellington City Council's team provides more than 400 services every day for Wellingtonians - everything from parks and pools to consents and cemeteries - playing our part in making Poneke an inclusive, sustainable, and creative capital for people to live, work, and play. Come and join us as we work together for Wellington's future - kia mahi ngatahi mo Poneke mo tona apopo .
Resource Consents Team
Our Resource Consents team helps make development happen across the city by processing resource consents and other approvals for proposals that don't meet rules in the District Plan. We have a positive team culture and we've hit the Council headlines for this! Being part of this team will also expose you to anything from the simple to the very, very complex. Think mum and dad additions and alterations, to large scale subdivisions, to high-rise buildings within the CBD; no one day is the same.
The Role
We have two positions available for Resource Consent Planners of various levels and experience to join us! As our Resource Consent Planner, you'll be a key advisor to our potential applicants at both the pre-application and processing stages of applications made under the Resource Management Act. You'll spend your time providing expert technical advice to customers around resource management best practice, compliance, and the relevant legislation that is applicable in their case.
A role at Wellington City Council will give you exposure to many elements of how the RMA is applied in a practical setting, both land use and subdivision resource consents, as well as the ability to become involved in complex resource management issues. Along with the ability to be part of an inclusive and forward-thinking Council, you will also have benefits such as:
5 weeks annual leave
Flexible hours and working arrangements
Opportunities to be part of our leadership development programme
Participation in a number of learning programmes
The starting salary for these roles depends on level and experience but broadly ranges from:
Intermediate: $88,000
Senior: $103,000
So Who Are We Looking For?
You'll bring a relevant tertiary degree in planning, resource management, surveying, or equivalent, along with proven experience in planning or resource consents. You'll need to have a practical understanding of relevant legislation, excellent communication skills, and a strong customer focus. Your transition would be even smoother if you also come with local government experience, but we definitely don't expect it.
If you are interested in what's on offer around flexibility, variety, and a place to grow your skills then don't delay and apply now!
