Communications Specialist

At Enviro NZ, we’ve been quietly doing big things. Making Aotearoa more sustainable. Solving real problems. Getting results. But too many of those stories never get told. That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Communications Specialist who can uncover the stories across our business and bring them to life through content that informs, engages, and inspires. Someone who can turn complex ideas into clear messages and create content that cuts through.

From resource recovery and recycling to infrastructure, innovation and community partnerships, you’ll help tell the stories behind some of New Zealand’s most essential environmental services.

What This Role Is All About

You’ll work under the direction of the Group Communications Lead to help bring Enviro NZ’s communications strategy to life across internal and external channels. You will:

• Tell great stories: Seek out stories from across the business and turn them into engaging content for internal and external audiences.
• Create content that cuts through: Write and produce content across multiple channels, including intranet articles, newsletters, social media, media releases, and video.
• Support campaigns and projects: Help deliver communications campaigns and initiatives aligned to business priorities.
• Keep content moving: Manage content calendars, coordinate contributors, and ensure communications are delivered on time.
• Use insight to improve: Track engagement, identify what resonates, and continuously strengthen our communications.

Who We’re Looking For

You’re a storyteller who enjoys getting out into the business, building relationships, and creating content people actually want to read, watch, and share. For that you’ll need:

• Experience in a communications, media, public relations, or content-focused role.
• Strong writing and editing skills across different audiences and channels.
• Confidence creating digital content, including video and social media content.
• Confidence using modern communications platforms and exploring AI-enabled tools to improve efficiency.
• A proactive, organised approach with the ability to juggle competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.

What matters most is your ability to find great stories, create compelling content, and help people connect with the work we do every day.

Why Enviro NZ?

We’ve got no shortage of stories to tell. We need someone who can find them, shape them, and share them in ways that make people stop and pay attention.

• You’ll work across every part of the business, uncovering stories that matter.
• You’ll be part of a collaborative communications team where your ideas are welcomed.
• You’ll have the chance to experiment with new formats, tools, and approaches, including video, digital media, and AI.
• You’ll help shape how our people and our customers see Enviro NZ and the impact we make every day.
