The Ministry for the Environment is looking for the country’s best policy practitioners.

Thank you to everyone who applied to our first round of advertising for these positions. While we had a large response, we know that some of the many vacancies will remain unfilled when we have completed the current interviewing processes. We are now calling for subsequent applications, therefore if you have not applied previously we would love to hear from you.

The Ministry’s objective is to be government’s primary policy adviser on the environment and economy. The Ministry wants to be respected for the depth, innovation and quality of its policy advice, and be a Ministry which governments and others turn to as their first stop for ways to approach difficult, complex and emerging issues.

To take the Ministry forward, it is seeking a full spectrum of policy analysts, from entry-level to experienced, well-regarded senior people. This is an opportunity to work in a Ministry that has a key role to play in shaping the way New Zealand manages its natural resources, and their contribution to the country’s economic growth.
