Building Control Officer

Selwyn District Council

The Selwyn District is located to the south of Christchurch, we have a fantastic quality of life, great communities, thriving businesses and we're working with our residents to plan for our futures. All in all, you won't just be entering a new role with us, you'll be joining a community that will really value you and your work.

As Selwyn continues to be a popular choice for new home building it also means an increase in the need for an experienced Building Control Officer to join our busy team. Within this team you'll be involved in ensuring the focus is continued in providing professional, effective and efficient implementation and administration of Selwyn District Council's regulatory building responsibilities as required by the Building Act 2004 and other relevant legislation.

To be successful in this position, you will have the ability to contribute towards flexible work practices through delivering the full range of building control functions in order to optimise work flow throughout Building Services. From front end processing to site inspections, you will be confident in ensuring that all building control functions are competently carried out to achieve compliance with relevant building controls in the Selwyn District, meaning buildings are safe and fit for the purpose.

Ideally we are looking for candidates who hold a Diploma in Building Surveying or an equivalent professional qualification within the building industry with Local Authority experience. However, we will consider applications from those working towards an appropriate NZ qualification in Building Control with some local government regulatory/planning experience.

While having an understanding and experience within the building industry is a must, so is the ability to deliver excellent customer service and communicate effectively while demonstrating strong time management, organisational and decision making skills!

If you're ready to work for a forward thinking team who are leading the way then don't think twice and submit your CV and Cover Letter to http://sdcjobs.co.nz/Vacancies/ 

Applications close Wednesday 7th June.

Note: Applicant must have a legal right to work in NZ
