Regional Asset Manager (Central or Southern) - #310846

We believe that if we want to be a world class Kiwi Company, we shouldn’t just employ people, divide them into functional departments and tell them what to do. Instead, we defined a purpose – powering better journeys, today and tomorrow - and go about achieving this by setting clear goals and expectations and embracing diversity of thought.
