About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Building Control Officer to join our Wellington branch. If you’re inspection-competent and ready to broaden your scope—or already dual-competent in processing and inspections—we’d love to hear from you.

You’ll support local BCAs and contribute nationally when required, reporting to the Regional Manager. This role involves assessing and processing building consent applications, providing technical advice, and ensuring compliance with legislation, codes, and best practice standards.

What You’ll Do

  • Assess, inspect, and process building consent applications in line with legislation and the Building Code.
  • Provide clear, professional technical advice to homeowners, builders, and stakeholders.
  • Maintain accurate documentation and reporting.
  • Contribute to training, supervision, and team development to build technical capability.
  • Ensure competency standards are maintained through regular assessments and CPD (Continued Professional Development).
  • Support continuous improvement in service delivery, systems, and processes.

What You’ll Bring

  • A Regulation 18-compliant qualification (as per MBIE guidance).
  • A full New Zealand driver’s licence.
  • Minimum 7 years’ current or recent experience in the building/construction industry across residential projects.
  • Strong knowledge of the NZ Building Act, Building Code, and approved documents.
  • Intermediate computer skills (MS Word, Excel, and Workflow systems).
  • Excellent customer service and conflict resolution skills.
  • Strong communication and collaboration abilities.
  • Experience with a Building Consent Authority (BCA) or similar organisation (desirable).
