About the role
How do you describe this role to your friends? On Monday you are engaging with the Royal New Zealand Air Force and on Tuesday, your office looks out across the iconic wind farms in the Palmerston North Air Traffic Control Tower.

This is a new role which requires extensive experience in a safety critical organisation (preferably aviation related), fantastic people leadership skills and strong operational knowledge. Reporting to the Head of Aerodrome Services, this role is responsible for overseeing the safe and efficient delivery of Air Traffic Services in the Central region at the Napier, Palmerston North, Ohakea and New Plymouth Towers to ensure the full engagement and development of the unit controllers and creating strong working relationships with internal and external customers and stakeholders.
