Strategic thinking. Regional influence.
Community impact.
Exceptional communities require exceptional infrastructure
planning.
At Matamata-Piako District Council, we are investing in our
future and are looking for a strategic infrastructure planning professional to
help shape the infrastructure decisions that will support our communities for
decades to come.
This is a rare opportunity to take a leading role in helping
shape how growth, infrastructure investment, resilience and service delivery
come together to create sustainable outcomes for our district.
Reporting to the Infrastructure Strategy and Asset
Management Team Leader, you'll lead strategic infrastructure planning across a
broad portfolio while representing Council in regional and sector-wide
conversations.
What you'll be doing
You'll be responsible for:
- Leading
infrastructure strategy development and Long Term Plan alignment.
- Guiding
infrastructure planning to support growth and development.
- Developing
compelling business cases and funding proposals.
- Providing
strategic advice to senior leaders and decision-makers.
- Representing
Council in regional infrastructure and growth forums.
- Building
strong relationships across government, infrastructure providers and
industry partners.
What we're looking for
We are seeking an experienced professional who is
recognised for their ability to think strategically, build credibility quickly,
and influence outcomes.
You may come from:
- Local Government
- Infrastructure consulting
- Engineering
- Asset Management
- Strategic Planning
- Utilities
- Public Sector Advisory
Most importantly, you'll bring practical experience in
strategic planning, infrastructure planning, asset management, engineering,
local government, utilities or a related field, and helping organisations make
informed investment decisions. You'll be comfortable challenging assumptions,
identifying opportunities and navigating ambiguity.
Why this role?
Because opportunities to genuinely shape the future of a
district don't come along often.
If you're looking for a role where your expertise will
influence major infrastructure decisions, growth planning, regional
collaboration and long-term community outcomes, we'd like to hear from you.
