Based in Otago (ideally Central Otago or Lakes District), you will be responsible for managing catchment group relationships and their needs in your area, alongside working with stakeholders, Councils and other organisations to further the goals of OCC. This role will be overseen and supported by our regional manager, and strategic direction offered by our governance committee.

• Sharing resources and fresh ideas between groups, seeking opportunities to learn and upskill.

• Supporting catchment groups to access the funding they require to achieve their goals.

OCC is committed to empowering catchments groups, no matter their size and stage and this role is pivotal in supporting great outcomes for Otago’s catchment groups and the environment.
