This is a unique role based in Wellington for a small, well respected organisation that operates under an Act of Parliament and works closely with landowners to help them identify and protect natural features on their land. 

The position of Field Operations Manager is a leadership and quality assurance position that supports the remote national field team of 27 contractors to meet their targets of managing and setting up new covenants with landowners. In addition, you will have 3 Wellington based Technical Officers reporting to you who monitor and manage the covenants.

You will need to have excellent relationship and interpersonal skills and be able to deal with people from all walks of life. A connection with the rural sector is essential.
