We are the carers for Northland's environment and community. Are you one of us?

A few things you should know about Northland Regional Council… we aren't about parking tickets, roading, building consents or any of that stuff! 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.

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

As part of the human resources and health and safety team, you will actively lead and develop fit for purpose and best practice health and safety and wellbeing initiatives. You will provide guidance and specialist advice on health and safety contributing to policies and processes, delivering training and development and more!

This role is key to ensuring that our people go home safe and that the organisation is fully equipped to perform its objectives and comply with relevant legislation and regulations through the development and implementation of effective health and safety processes and programmes. This role is perfect for someone wanting to work in a multi-disciplinary focussed position in an operationally diverse organisation.

Are you up for it?

We don't just want someone that CAN do the job, we want someone who has the DRIVE to do a GREAT job and has a passion for what our organisation and values stand for.

You will have an operational and ideally strategic health and safety skillset. Our ideal person will have a relevant degree and a minimum of 3 years of generalist knowledge and experience working in health and safety in an advisor or specialist role.

The successful person must have excellent communication, interpersonal, report writing and data analyst skills and be experienced in guiding people to achieve results.

This role would suit someone who can work independently as well as part of a team. Someone who is always looking for new and improved ways of doing things and also has a passion for caring for the environment.

What's in it for you?

We'll pay you to do a job you love, and we also care about our staff. Our team has grown a lot over the years, but our small organisation culture is still here. We celebrate our efforts, share wedding/baby pictures, host many shared morning teas, enjoy outings, annual fishing competitions and brunches, and have a lot of fun together. We have an active social club that comes up with great ideas.

We support our staff during the good and hard times, but if you're also interested in the tangible stuff, we have that too - check out our benefits here: https://northlandrc.recruitmenthub.co.nz/Benefits/.
