Asset Coordinator

About Us

We have several Water Services opportunities within our team to deliver on our vision for Waipā to be the 'Home of Champions - Building Connected Communities'. The Waipā District - with key locations of Te Awamutu and Cambridge - is one of the fastest growing regions in Aotearoa. It is anticipated that by 2050 an additional 25,000 people will be calling Waipā home. To prepare for this growth, and to welcome more residents to our district, we have over $130 million worth of water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure projects to deliver over the next 10 years, including new treatment plants, reservoirs and reticulation renewals - it's an exciting time to be part of Water Services at Waipa!

About the Role

Will you be the next Asset Coordinator to join our Te Awamutu-based Water Services team? After a successful internal promotion, the new Asset Coordinator will be responsible for undertaking the co-ordination of asset management and administration for the Water Services business unit.

The key responsibilities for this role include, but are not limited to:

• Working closely within the Water Services team to ensure data is accurate and incorporated into the Asset Management System (AMS).
• Working with key stakeholders to ensure asset information is collected, analysed and relevant documentation updated.
• Working closely with the Development Engineering and Project Delivery teams to facilitate the collection of accurate information for future works programmes.

Detailed Job Description is attached to this listing.

About You

Our successful candidate will have:

• A Science, Engineering or similar infrastructure asset management qualification (or equivalent learning through experience)
• At least two years' previous experience working in an infrastructure asset administration or Three Waters related position and/or an engineering trade background i.e. plumbing / reticulation for network-related knowledge.

Preference will be given to candidates who have:

• Customer Service experience and exposure to relay technical knowledge to a non-technical audience.
• The ability to negotiate, coordinate and facilitate between numerous parties to relay information, ensure consistency and seek outcomes and solutions for all concerned.

While the role is based out of our Te Awamutu office, some travel within the Waipā district may be required (at Council's reasonable expense) to fulfil your duties.

Depending upon experience, the gross annual salary range for this 40-hour per week role is $ 68,844 to $ 76,494.

In return, we offer a fun and family-friendly, community-focused environment with plenty of opportunities to grow and develop. The Waipā District is nestled in the heart of the Waikato, within commuting distance of Hamilton, and within easy reach of Auckland and Tauranga on weekends. Commonly known as the Home of Champions, and encircled by mountains and reserves, Waipā offers high performance sport (rowing, cycling and kayaking) and opportunities to get out into nature in abundance. Coupled with fantastic local schools and great house prices, Waipā is the ideal place to achieve true work/life balance.

With this specific role, as an Accredited Employer, we are open to your application whether you are already entitled to work in New Zealand or are eligible to obtain a relevant work visa.
