About the job location – either Mount Maunganui in Tauranga or Mount Eden in Auckland

Auckland Office

Take a short walk along Mount Eden Road from our offices and you’ll be within the Mount Eden Village shops. The Village nestles up against beautiful Maungawhau (Mount Eden), so if you feel like taking in the view, it’s a lunch-time walk worth the effort. The Village itself is bursting at the seams with trendy cafes, pubs, and bakeries, and all number of boutique shops – you’ll be spoilt for choice on those days you want to buy lunch or run errands. Good public transport is available on Mount Eden Road and free on street parking is readily available.

Tauranga Office

Tauranga, translated from Māori, means ‘place of rest’ or ‘safe anchorage’. Our city certainly is a beautiful place to call home. You’ll love what it has to offer: surf, fish, shop, swim, bike, boat, or walk Mauao (Mount Maunganui) – and that’s the short list! Tauranga is the largest city in the Bay of Plenty region, home to approximately 140,000 people, and is one of the fastest growing areas in the country. To keep up with demand, we are looking to grow our team here. Our office is in the heart of Mount Maunganui, right at the start of the boutique bustle of Mount Mainstreet, and within a short stroll of Pilot Bay on the harbour side or Moturiki Island on the oceanside.

Remuneration and benefits will be commensurate with the qualifications, skills and experience held by the suitable candidate.
