• Help plan and manage safe and secure water supply and wastewater services for Tasman's growing communities and unique environments.
• Challenging opportunity to influence and shape the future of our district.

This is a time of rapid growth for our region and change in water and wastewater requirements which means the scope, variety and volume of water and wastewater planning and projects are growing.

Your excellent communication and relationship management skills will be essential to share ideas and collaborate with staff across Council, developers, district health boards, iwi, community organisations and neighbouring Councils. You will be a solutions driven person who can connect the dots and translate complex issues as you provide cross council leadership and specialist advice on water supply and wastewater.
