What’s in it for you?

• Join a significant nationwide transformation programme
• Christchurch-based opportunity
• Varied, hands‑on project coordination work
• Plenty of stakeholder interaction across different teams and organisations
• Opportunity to contribute to a high‑profile operational rollout
• Work alongside a broad range of teams and partners
