What type of planners are we looking for?
There are a few essentials that we will be looking for:
* A minimum of 5 years’ experience in planning.
* A proven track record in planning in Queenstown and/or Central Otago.
* A working knowledge of the RMA and its interrelationship with District and Regional Plans and the higher order planning documents, such that you are comfortable with preparing evidence and submissions on plan change processes.
* A confident communicator with attention to a clear written word is a must – communication is the backbone of what we do.
* A positive can-do attitude.
* Do what you say you are going to do, don’t just talk the talk – we have a team full of doers.
* A knack to think outside the box – most people can regurgitate a rule or a policy, but we want you to understand the mechanics of how it all works, and how it can be applied in practice to give our clients the best advice possible.
