About Us
We are proud to provide services and support to one of New Zealand’s fastest growing and thriving communities. With a fast paced and changing community we have an array of interesting projects and initiatives and are committed to a significant infrastructure and maintenance work programme which included the recently completed Te Kete Tuhinga (library) and civic centre Te Whare Whakatere.
Employing around 300 staff, we pride ourselves on delivering excellent services to our 36,000 plus residents and visitors alike – ensuring the provision of quality local infrastructure, community services and regulatory functions for both current and future generations.
With stunning scenery, great people, strong communities, and a prosperous economy, we consider Ashburton and the wider mid-Canterbury district a great place to live, work and play.
About The Role:
Reporting to the Chief Executive and as a member of the executive team, you will work closely with elected members and set the direction for the business support services and operations. The Business Support Group is responsible for revenue generating activities including rates, commercial property and forestry, as well as business support services (finance, information technology and legal).
Applicants will be CA qualified and ideally have relevant experience in a local government or professional practice in a senior leadership role. This could also be a great opportunity for someone looking to step into a broader focused leadership role.
We don’t believe there should be any reason stopping you for applying for this role, but if you are still a bit unsure why not watch our recruitment video to see what Ashburton District Council can offer you!
