Summer Student - Property

Job No: ADC79
Location: Ashburton

  • Opportunity for a student to join our property team over the summer
  • Gain valuable professional experience in our Property team
  • Enjoy the natural beauty and recreational opportunities of Ashburton during your summer break

 

What does the job involve?

We’re pleased to provide the opportunity for a student to join our Property team on a full time, fixed term contract for the summer holiday period from November to February. You’ll gain professional experience working with the Property team on diverse project-based work. You will have the best of both worlds, initially it will be field based, collecting information on our gravel pits, forestry blocks and reserves then compiling this information into our records management system in our modern office.

 

You will also be responsible for updating and verifying data in our computer databases (TechOne and Sharepoint) so your attention to detail is critical. The experience gained will be invaluable for your future career development.

 

Who are we looking for?

Ideally, you’ll be studying towards a tertiary qualification, and most importantly, you’ll need to be reliable and have a positive attitude. Whilst we’ll provide you with the tools and instructions to complete the work, you’ll need to have an inquiring mind, initiative, and an organised nature to ensure the projects are completed before your contract ends. You must have a current full driver’s licence. Experience flying a drone is desirable, as some tasks may involve aerial site inspections—however, training can be provided if needed.

 

What can ADC offer you?

Working in a friendly and positive work environment, you’ll have the opportunity to work alongside experienced Council Officers. You will be guaranteed a variety of work, based within a supportive team who are dedicated to the success of our organisation.
