Are you someone who is passionate about the outdoors? If you love working in nature, appreciate a remote natural environment, and have good practical field skills with a proven ability for planning and delivering work, then this maybe the ranger job for you!
We have three Ranger vacancies in our Operations team in the Hauraki district, Thames office. The area is seeking three motivated, fit and responsible people to assist the delivery of the district's track and weed control work program.

The Rangers in this role will take the lead in ensuring our tracks meet the expectations of the local community and tourists, as well as providing safe opportunities for families exploring the outdoors and nature for the first time. Spartina control is part of the wider Spartina eradication plan for the Hauraki/Coromandel to keep our internationally recognised wader bird habitat free from the clutches of this invasive – land reclaiming weed!
A full, clean drivers license is essential.
