Do you want a change in lifestyle?
If so, here's your opportunity!
About our District - Our mission is to make our communities better and this role will play a key part in achieving this. We are located in a tranquil area of New Zealand offering some of the best access to the great outdoors. We also boast attractive housing prices for your town, village or rural lifestyle and we are within commuting distance to larger centres.
About our Organisation - We are an energetic and progressive, values-based organisation, which is dedicated to providing quality services and facilities for our communities. We place a strong emphasis on our organisational culture, which in turn creates strong engagement across our team. We employ people with a 'Can Do' attitude who want to work for a united organisation with a strong sense of family that is proud to serve its communities.
At STDC, we offer a proven "best place to work" environment, access to a sick leave bank, flexible working opportunities and retention incentive benefit upon five years of employment. Our team culture encourages innovation, we care about your professional development, and you will be working with an elite and motivated team of professionals.
About the Role - This role is about keeping people safe, looking after the environment, teamwork and excellent customer service.

We are in the process of positioning the council to be in the best position to meet the next phase of legislative change, so we want people who are adaptable and absolutely committed to the community and their safety.
This role will provide effective and timely technical expertise and guidance in support of building consent applications and the related site inspections. Assessments for earthquake prone buildings, swimming pool inspections and Building Warrant of Finess audits may also form part of this role, depending on skills, experience and future priority setting by Government.
