Waikato Regional Council

Our people are what makes working here so great. We have a shared passion for the environment and making the Waikato even better, together, both for the people here today and the generations to come. We deeply care about our people and are committed to building an organisational culture where we can all be our best. So we’re looking for people who share our values and behaviours: Kia tika | Responsible Kia tau | Respectful Kia toa | Effective. In our organisation we have many specialists, some who are leaders in their field, so you’re surrounded by people you can learn from. We also invest in training our people, developing their leadership skills and making sure we have a great, flexible working environment. We offer generous leave entitlements, wellbeing support, and opportunities to develop te ao Māori and te reo Māori capabilities, to name just a few. Of course, it helps that our rohe (region) is rich in opportunities for those who love nature – with easy access to east and west coast beaches, hiking and biking trails, as well as rivers and lakes. Our central location puts us close to New Zealand’s largest city, as well as the ski fields. We have a number of offices throughout the mighty Waikato, providing opportunities to work from different locations. Visit our Careers page to learn more ⬇️
