Why choose a career in the Regions?

Affordable Lifestyle

According to the 2022 Cost of Living Index, the average cost of living in regional New Zealand is up to 30% lower than in the major cities.

Shorter Commutes

People who live in small regional cities can expect to save an average of 14 minutes on their commute, compared to those that live in New Zealand’s biggest cities.

Work-Life Balance

New Zealand regional cities offer a slower pace of life, shorter commutes, and a stronger sense of community. This can lead to less stress and more time for outdoor adventures, making for a better work-life balance.

Career Advancement

Working on regional rebuild efforts presents the opportunity to use your skills to make a positive difference to New Zealander's lives. In addition, you will have the opportunity to learn new skills and gain valuable experience that will help advance your career.

Help Rebuild Aotearoa New Zealand

Make a meaningful and tangible difference in the lives of people who have been affected by Cyclone Gabrielle. Work on challenging and complex projects that will require your skills and expertise.

Requirements

Our Graduate roles are for those completing their Bachelor’s or Master’s degree from a New Zealand university by the end of 2023 with less than one year of relevant work experience as a Graduate (internships do not count toward the one-year maximum).

If you have more than one year of work experience as a Graduate, please instead apply for a role of interest through our careers site.
