Director position - Buller Holdings

Are you passionate about making a difference? Buller District Council is seeking expressions of interest to join Buller Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries as a director.

This role offers a unique opportunity to provide governance leadership for Buller Holdings Limited, WestReef Services Limited, and Buller Recreation Limited, which operates the Pulse Energy Recreation Centre.

These companies are vital contributors to the Buller District, supplying essential water services, civil works, and maintaining parks and reserves, as well as providing recreational services to the Buller District Council and external clients.

We welcome expressions of interest from people with diverse backgrounds, including but not limited to the professional, trade, agricultural, contracting and service sectors.

Our preference is for applicants that reside in Buller, as a deep understanding of Buller’s opportunities and risks, and the ability to navigate them effectively is key to success in this role.

While prior governance experience is advantageous, Council is also open to considering individuals early in their governance careers keen to take on their first directorship role. This is a chance to contribute to the growth and sustainability of essential services within the Buller District.

The successful applicant will be paid directors fees, covering their directorship of all three companies. It is essential that all applicants have existing rights to work in New Zealand, and any possible conflicts of interest must be declared during the application process.

Initial enquiries can be made via Mayor Jamie Cleine by emailing Jamie.Cleine@bdc.govt.nz

Applications are to be marked ‘Confidential’ and addressed to Human Resources, Buller District Council, PO Box 21, Westport 7866 or sent to bdc.hr@bdc.govt.nz

All applications are required to be accompanied by the Application Form available from bullerdc.govt.nz/yourcouncil/careers/, a Covering Letter and a copy of your current Curriculum Vitae.

Applications close at 4:30 pm on Friday 1 August 2025.
