We’re looking for an experienced Building Compliance Officer to join our dynamic Building Unit. This is a varied and impactful role where no two days are the same.

  • Are you naturally curious and detail-oriented?
  • Do you thrive on inspections and investigations?
  • Do you have proven experience and the confidence to step into a compliance role with minimal hand-holding?

Key responsibilities include:

  • Conducting swimming pool fencing and building inspections to ensure compliance
  • Inspecting buildings that require a building warrant of fitness
  • Recording and reporting the outcomes of investigations and inspection work
  • Assisting with the preparation of material for potential prosecutions

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Has a solid understanding of the NZ Building Act and Building Code
  • Brings prior experience in compliance, enforcement, or investigations, or has relevant tertiary qualifications
  • Has strong analytical skills and sound judgment, even in challenging situations
  • Communicates confidently with a wide range of people
  • Has strong attention to detail and keeps cool under pressure
  • Is computer literate and confident using Microsoft Office

Why join us?

This role is best suited to someone ready to hit the ground running — someone who brings knowledge, confidence, and a proactive mindset to the table. You’ll be part of a supportive team and an organisation committed to doing meaningful work across the district.

While we value development, at this stage we're prioritising applicants who already have the skills and experience to step confidently into this role.

As well as being a fantastic job opportunity, working for TCDC has other benefits - you get to come and live (if you don't already) in the Coromandel!

We offer a range of benefits that staff can access that focus on supporting you and your family to live the life you choose.

The right to work in New Zealand and a current full NZ drivers' license is mandatory.

Applications close Sunday 12th October 2025 at 9.00pm

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