Annual salary + 15.4% employer super contribution
TheNet Zero Economy Act 2024(NZEA Act) established the Net Zero Economy Authority (the Authority) as a statutory agency in December 2024.
The authority is presently establishing itself as a separate entity, including off-boarding from the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C). The authority is expected to transition shortly to being a separate entity from PM&C, at which time, all employees will transfer under Machinery of Government (MoG) changes to the authority.
Our vision is to deliver a better future for industrial regions, communities and workers in a net zero economy.
To deliver on our vision, we have defined three core missions that guide our efforts.
* Help workers in coal and gas facilities affected by the transition to prepare for, and find, new well paid, safe and secure jobs.
* Support communities significantly affected by the transition to net zero to prosper, including through economic development and investment.
* Be a trusted and influential voice to build understanding of, and shape policy on, the net zero economic transition, particularly in the regions.
This process will be used to fill multiple vacancies across a number of different teams within the authority. For detailed information on the teams and roles, please refer to the downloadable candidate information pack.
