Environment Southland Regional Council

Invercargill


Resource Management Officer - Incident Response

At Environment Southland, we actively work towards enhancing the experience of living and working in a sustainable region.
Environment Southland offers generous leave provisions - 3 days wellbeing days per year, 12 days sick leave; income protection insurance, free flu shots, free parking, an active social club and a relocation allowance for the right candidate. We have a dynamic and friendly working environment, access to a wide range of technology, training and support, and the chance to make a real difference to Southland's natural environment.
An initial offer of remuneration will be made within the range $78,570 - $82,935.

Beaches, ski fields, 4 out of 10 of NZ Great Walks, national parks, lakes and fiords are all a short journey from Invercargill. Combined with reasonable house prices, short commutes and a relaxed pace of life, it all makes Southland a great place to live and work.

As a Resource Management Officer - Incident Response, you will be part of a team that champions the community's quality of life through:

  • Investigating environmental incidents with integrity
  • Engaging with our community
  • Fostering relationships and building connections
  • Achieving positive outcomes that support the sustainable use of our natural resources

This role will largely consist of field work, which is predominantly following up on notifications provided via our 24 hour pollution hotline and referrals from stakeholder agencies. However, the role also involves some office based work including information gathering, providing advice and education, and assisting with investigations.

You will need excellent communication skills to connect with the diverse range of people we support across Southland. Although part of a team, you will often be working alone and will need a demonstrated ability to remain calm under pressure and you will be comfortable working in unknown situations dealing with complex issues while exercising discretion in non-compliance situations to obtain best environmental outcome, retain organisational goals and values and maintain consistency with legislation, while maintaining professional relationships and maintaining your own safety and wellbeing.

Experience in any of the following disciplines, although not essential would be an advantage:
  • investigations and inspections within compliance/regulatory environment;
  • experience with farm or dairying systems;

A proven ability to effectively deal with conflict is required, as is a good understanding of relevant environmental issues that affect the Southland region.

Successful applicants will be police-vetted and will be required to participate in an on‑call roster for after hour pollution notifications.
