What we’re looking for from you:

• Relevant qualifications and experience to the aviation sector
• Good all-rounders who can contribute to a team environment
• Physically and mentally fit
• Ability to understand and follow instructions
• Willingness to be available short notice, at all times of the day and night. (Crewing rosters mean you would not be expected to be available 24/7 except on your agreed duty days)

An added bonus is if you:

• live within a 15-20-minute drive (off-peak) from our base at Kerikeri Airport.

Our promise to you

• An exciting and challenging role
• First class Maritime qualifications & training
• Management & teamwork skills
• Risk assessment experience
• Personal development
• Clear pathways for progression
• New friendships with like-minded people
• An incredibly rewarding experience
• Become part of the team making a difference in Aotearoa

What happens next? Once we have received your application form, our Training Coordinator will be in touch to have a chat to you a little more about what the role entails, how we operate and our expectations. This will give you a chance to ask questions and see if it's a great fit for you.

Then it’s time to come along and spend some time on the unit where we will get you involved in a training session or two and then the best part of getting you up in the air for a test flight. From there we’ll talk about next steps with your application.

Heads up: acceptance as a Coastguard Volunteer is subject to a clean Police Vetting Report being received and also the passing of the In Water Survivability test.
