He angitūtanga | About the role
The Fast Track Approvals Bill will require DOC to provide advice to decision makers across a range of functions, and we are moving at pace to meet statutory timeframes. Most activities on public conservation land, or in relation to protected wildlife, marine mammals, or marine reserves require approval to ensure the activities are undertaken in a manner that protects the values of the land and complies with the legislation.

You'll be leading and developing a team of trusted advisers who provide advice to expert panels of decision makers. The team are focussed on delivering within the framework of fast-paced consenting and assisting panels to navigate the complexity of concession legislation. To create an effective ‘one stop shop' that meets the Government's objectives, you'll work across DOC to get the required advice into the process.
This role will require you to be agile, comfortable in managing risk and uncertainty, and the ability to prioritise conservation values in a fast-paced, multi-application workload.
