Details of the offer

The New Zealand Infrastructure Commission, Te Waihanga is small but mighty and hasn't been around long by government standards.

You might be an experienced researcher with an interest in policy implications of your research, or a policy professional with exceptional analytical and communication skills wanting to move into a research-focused role.
Ideally you will have:A research-based post-graduate qualification in a related discipline.Experience in the machinery of government.Knowledge of issues and trends associated with Infrastructure in New Zealand, and/or experience working in infrastructure (including transport, water, energy, waste, education or health).What's in it for you:Flexible working that supports the individual, the team and the organisation.Subsidised health insurance membership for open-tenure employees.Generous leave entitlements.Support with learning and continued professional development.Te Waihanga is what's called an Autonomous Crown Entity or, even better, an ACE. We think about the whole infrastructure system – roads, waterpipes, powerlines, you name it – and our job is to give advice and uncover the insights that can make it all work as well as it can, supporting an Aotearoa that's great for the generations to come.
Our people are smart and passionate about this stuff. They're friendly and, this being a relatively small organisation, it's easy to work with anyone here and to have an impact. We don't do hierarchy or stand on ceremony.
We also value our people, and it's important to us that you feel welcome, supported, and respected.
