Opportunity for paid ranger work on Tiritiri Matangi

Hi everyone

DOC is looking for temporary paid ranger for Tiritiri Matangi until we are able to advertise the permanent position. the delay is due to a review of the Warkworth DOC office). This position will be needed for up to 5 months, as the review and subsequent permanent recruitment will take a while to complete.

The temp ranger will need to start in about 2 weeks (if possible) and they will be working a 10 day on, 4 off cycle, with accommodation the island. They will be working alongside the current ranger Dave Jenkins, although for some of their 10 day roster time they will be in sole charge.

I have attached the information and a role description to give a fair idea of what skills are needed.

In summary they need someone with:
-People skills to deal with high numbers of people (visitors volunteers, contractors, researchers, Tiri supporters, translocation teams) some of whom will challenge you and the "face" of the department.
-Basic skills in Mechanical , building maintenance/ construction, plumbing skills etc.
-Administration skills (must be competent to do basic admin and must be familiar with work excel and outlook.
-Good organizational skills - ( to be able to deal with lots of competing demands rather than organizing a few large projects)
-Knowledge of NZ biodiversity and visitor facilities would be desirable
-ATV and or 4wd qualifications would be desirable.

For further information or to apply contact Rory Renwick 09 425 7932. rrenwick [at] doc [dot] govt [dot] nz Note Rory will be on leave until Thursday 8th April.

Cheers,
Charis :)
