Are you ready to further your career in one of New Zealand’s most desirable regions? Do you have a good understanding of land science issues?

If you would enjoy working with some of New Zealand’s best scientists, love the outdoors, a fantastic climate and a relaxed lifestyle then this new position at the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council is just for you.

You will be part of a high performing team focused on land science issues including erosion/sediment, soil quality, nutrient loss from land, the effects of land and land use change, riparian and wetland monitoring/mapping.  This work, alongside the surface water and ground water science teams, will help provide a better picture of issues facing the region and how to address them, as well as support the policy development and regulatory functions of the Council.
