Asset Manager - Vehicle & Infrastructure

At RealNZ, our vehicles and infrastructure play a vital role in connecting our guests with some of the most spectacular places in Aotearoa, from Milford Sound to Doubtful Sound, Walter Peak and Rakiura.

We're looking for an experienced Asset Manager who enjoys rolling up their sleeves and getting stuck in, while bringing the strategic thinking needed to plan ahead and improve how we manage our assets.

This is a varied, hands-on role where you'll work alongside technicians, apprentices and contractors to keep our vehicle fleet and infrastructure safe, reliable and running smoothly. You'll troubleshoot operational challenges, oversee maintenance activities and work closely with leaders to keep things moving.

You'll also take ownership of budgets, asset lifecycle planning and improvement projects, finding opportunities to improve reliability, reduce downtime and plan for the future. With operations across some of Aotearoa's most remote locations, occasional travel and out-of-hours support will be part of the role.

Based in Te Anau, you'll have Fiordland National Park on your doorstep, with endless opportunities for hiking, fishing, boating and exploring. It's a fantastic place to enjoy the outdoors, and embrace a more relaxed pace of life.

Who We're Looking For

• 10+ years' experience in asset management, ideally across a complex, asset-intensive environment
• A track record in maintenance planning at scale
• Experience managing or supporting an EAM system (Maximo, SAP, or similar)
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills - you'll be trusted by people across the business and beyond it
• A practical, hands-on mindset with a genuine focus on continuous improvement
• Solid project management experience
• A real investment in conservation and protecting the natural environments and heritage we operate within
• A commitment to a fair, equal, diverse, and inclusive workplace

What's in it for you?

• Incredible staff perks! Bring a friend along to experience RealNZ's adventures for free or at a fantastic discount. Explore the Glowworm Caves in Te Anau, cruise Milford Sound, dine at Walter Peak, and discover Rakiura
• A free ski pass for Cardrona and Treble Cone
• Medical insurance included in your remuneration package

Real People, Real Places, Real Experiences. Welcome To RealNZ.

When's the best time to join the Real whānau? Now's good.

We're the conservation business that's enabled by tourism. We're helping the world, one guest at a time, fall in love with conservation.

We channel a guest-centric approach that fuels our genuine promise to deliver Aotearoa's most unforgettable experiences.

It's our workplace environment that makes careers at RealNZ more exciting than the regular job. Working for Real could mean you're based anywhere between a secluded island, a scenic fiord, and a snow-capped maunga. Our people, places, and workdays are a great and diverse mixture. It keeps us on our toes and adds value and passion to our work.
