Findyourplace.co.nz is a shared recruitment service for six Local Government Councils spanning the Waikato, Waipa, Matamata-Piako, South Waikato, Waitomo and Otorohanga Districts.  As a shared recruitment service, the aim is to collectively attract skilled, quality people into local government.

Local Authorities seek people who are enthusiastic, motivated and customer focused, in every area of the respective organisations. People who love a challenge thrive on variety, and who are a team player are highly regarded by Councils.

We are always looking for talented and committed people from diverse backgrounds to help manage and encourage growth in our regions. As Local Authorities, we offer a wide range of municipal services and community initiatives.

We have a number of exciting ongoing opportunities in the following areas:

•    Wastewater Management
•    Project Management
•    Roading
•    Service and Project Engineers
•    Resource Consents Planning/Town Planning
•    Policy Planning
•    Corporate Planning


Flexible working arrangements, great team environments, opportunities for career development, and picturesque working locations, are just some of the benefits Councils strive to provide.

Recognised as some of the “Best Places to work in NZ”, local authorities offer challenging and satisfying careers. They invest in their employees and ensure that their working environments are team-based and fun.

You will also be based in locations that are scenically delightful, surrounded by natural parks and exceptional recreation opportunities, so having fun outside of work won’t be a problem either.
