The Opportunity This is an opportunity to step into a key leadership role with Environment Southland, leading a team responsible for the delivery of resource consenting services across the region. You’ll provide leadership, technical guidance and support to a team of Senior Consents Officers and Consents Officers, while also taking responsibility for complex decision‑making, quality assurance and continuous improvement. This is a role where you can combine your resource consenting expertise with genuine people leadership, helping shape how the team operates and delivers for the community. The Role As Team Leader Consents, you'll be responsible for leading, mentoring and developing a team of consenting professionals.

Alongside this you will be someone who can balance the needs of your team with the demands of a busy regulatory environment, make confident decisions and build effective relationships across Council and the wider community. Why Southland? Based in Southland, this is an opportunity to join an organisation with a clear purpose, working with the community to enhance Southland's environment. You’ll be part of a team where your leadership will have a direct influence on the quality and effectiveness of consenting services across the region, while contributing to Environment Southland's vision of a thriving Southland. #J-18808-Ljbffr
