He angitūtanga: The opportunity

Join Auckland Council’s Performance, Information and Assurance team within the Resilience and Environment directorate as our next Associate Quality Assurance Assessor. 

This is an opportunity to help shape how we measure and improve the quality of our regulated services. You’ll dive into the systems and processes that keep our city running, from building and environmental health to other compliance areas, ensuring they meet both legislative standards and the expectations of our communities. 

If you’re a detail-oriented professional who enjoys understanding how things work, and how they can work better, this role offers a genuine chance to make an impact.

You could expect to work on:

• Conducting independent audits of systems and processes to ensure compliance and quality
• Analysing results and translating findings into practical, meaningful improvements
• Collaborating with managers to resolve non-conformances and strengthen performance
• Providing insight and guidance to teams, building a culture of learning and accountability

He kōrero mōu: About you

You’re naturally analytical and thrive in environments where accuracy and integrity matter. Ideally, you’ll have experience in a regulated or compliance-based area (like building, planning, food, or alcohol licensing) and an interest in continuous improvement. 

You’ll bring a calm, collaborative mindset, strong communication and report-writing skills, and confidence navigating complex systems, regulations or standards as they relate to the Building Act, Resource Management Act, or ISO/IEC 17020.
