Our values here at Masterton District Council are our professional compass - steering us towards positive, empathetic interactions with our colleagues and the public. They give us the tools to use when faced with difficult situations or decisions, so we enhance our own mana and that of others.
Why work in Masterton? Well, we can’t tell if it’s the Paemaunga (Tararua Ranges) that impress our view. Maybe it’s the award-winning parks that provide acres of greenspace right in the heart of town (or the life-style blocks just out of town), or maybe it’s the range of cafes and shops in our town centre? We have loads of events and activities happening throughout the year, there’s just so much to see and do. So, what’s stopping you from joining Masterton District Council today?
Here at Masterton District Council, we are going out to the market seeking someone that can bring Resource Management compliance, Stakeholder Management and Liaison knowledge and experience. Also, if you have proven knowledge and experience in Health, Safety and Risk this would be an advantage.
We are looking for the perfect candidate that can ensure Masterton District Council maximises its current and future wastewater service, particularly in relation to the Homebush Wastewater Treatment Plant asset. This is achieved through the effective provision of advice on, and the active management of, Council’s resource consents in conjunction with identified stakeholders. Compliance with current consents, maximising Council’s wastewater assets, and a strategic approach to the future provision of wastewater management services, are key outcomes of the job.

Beautiful Masterton
In Masterton people enjoy an outdoor lifestyle with a great climate and access to amazing natural resources. Lakes, rivers, surf beaches and mountains make our district an adventurer’s paradise.
In 2017 we were voted New Zealand’s Most Beautiful City, an honour we are proud to have achieved against strong competition from Tauranga and Napier. In fact, the judges said Masterton’s entry blew them away with its wide range of environmental and heritage conservation projects, and the strength of the community engagement “with numerous community groups working hard to make the city a safer and more beautiful community”.
Masterton offers easy living without compromising on access to resources such as great education opportunities for all ages. Our residents also run lots of active clubs and organisations that are always welcoming new members so there are lots of options for new or existing hobbies.
With a mixture of big-box retailers and small independent stores, you can buy almost anything you need from custard squares at a ‘bakery of the year’ award-winning cafe, to top designer brands like Kow Tow in the Kuripuni Shopping Village. With two cinemas, two theatres and lots of restaurants you won’t be lost for entertainment. We play host to huge events such as Wings over Wairarapa, the Balloon Fiesta and Wine and Food Festivals every year to keep your social calendar packed and the family busy.
