About this role
Your next adventure: Rotorua Lakes Council beckons!
Are you seeking an adventure that combines professional growth with community enrichment? Look no further than Te Kaunihera o ngā Roto o Rotorua | Rotorua Lakes Council. With a team of just under 500 staff, we're the driving force behind iconic projects that define the Rotorua landscape – from the Sir Howard Morrison Centre to the Rotorua Lakefront Redevelopment. Immerse yourself in the unique blend of nature and culture that Rotorua offers, with lakeside tranquility, world-class mountain biking, and captivating geothermal wonders. Our commitment to biculturalism through collaboration with Te Arawa, our local iwi, is hugely important as is your appreciation for Māori values, te reo, and tikanga Māori. Join us and embark on a journey where your passion meets purpose.
Whakarongo ki te Tūī e karanga mai ana, Tihei Mauriora e! Hear the call of the Tūī, Behold there is life!
Are you practical, hands-on, and looking to build a career in water services? We’re seeking a motivated individual to join our team as a Network Operator. This is a great opportunity for someone with a background in plumbing, farm irrigation, or similar trades—even if you’re just starting out.
In this role, you’ll be trained to carry out technical tasks on Rotorua’s drinking water reticulation network, including pipeline repairs, flushing mains, water sampling, and site maintenance. You’ll work alongside experienced operators and be supported to develop your skills and knowledge on the job.
We’re looking for someone who is physically fit, eager to learn, and committed to working towards (or currently undertaking) a Level 4 Water Reticulation qualification. A positive attitude, good communication skills, and a strong focus on safety and customer service are essential.
If you’re ready to start a rewarding career in water services and grow your technical expertise in a supportive team, we’d love to hear from you.
