Description

At Mackenzie District Council, we work together as a team to deliver the best outcomes for our district. We are crafting new ways of working together, and each one of us has an essential role in making our district the best place to live, work and play.

Are you seeking a role with a bit more oomph to it? Are you ready to step into a role where you can have impact? Then look no further as we have an opportunity too good to be missed! We are on the hunt for a highly capable and experienced Administration Support Officer to join our Roading team. You'll need to hit the ground running, get stuck in and own the work in front of you right from the get-go as the role is pretty grunty.

This role will require you to be a forward-thinker with a proactive attitude who can provide high-level, proactive, efficient, and comprehensive administration assistance and support for our Roading team whilst lending a hand to the wider Engineering team.

Responsibilities include:

• managing the customer service requests for the roading team collecting and recording roading related data
• liaising with contractors/key stakeholders/ratepayers
• compiling reports
• preparing presentations
• providing administrative support, including calendar management for the Roading team and the wider Engineering team.

We're after a self-starter - someone who is driven, professional and effective. In this busy and ever-changing environment, attention to detail is crucial, the ability to juggle pressured situations and deadlines will be second nature and you will thrive on being able to power through the day-to-day responsibilities with confidence as well as relish the variety of the ad-hoc tasks. All the while, your customer-focused and can-do mindset will ensure our key partners, stakeholders and customers receive the best possible service.

Just like Transformers, there's more than meets the eye to this role! So… if you want to learn more you can check out the position description to get a real handle on what you'll be doing, the experience and knowledge you'll need to be able to totally own this role and be part of Team Mack.

This is a permanent, part-time role working five hours per day, Monday - Friday (hours of work to be negotiated) and will be based out of our office in Fairlie, South Canterbury.
