Job description

We have a fantastic opportunity for a motivated and positive leader who is passionate about conservation and ready to support a dedicated team of Conservation Rangers in the field. We’re looking for someone hardworking and enthusiastic to help deliver pest plant control and revegetation projects that protect and restore our local environment.

This field-based role is physically demanding and requires resilience, practical skills, and a genuine love of working outdoors.

As a Senior Ranger, you’ll play a key role in leading a small team (alongside your Team Leader) and contributing to meaningful, on-the-ground outcomes. You’ll be part of a team-making a visible, lasting impact across the Nelson / Tasman region.

If you’re looking for the chance to work out in nature on a large-scale restoration project, this could be the perfect next step in your conservation career.

What you’ll be doing

  • Leading a small team to deliver high-quality ecological and restoration outcomes
  • Pest plant control, planting and aftercare on retired forestry, and land restoration projects
  • Operating equipment such as scrub bars, chainsaws and knapsack sprayers
  • Safely applying herbicides in line with best-practice environmental and safety guidelines.

Suitable applicants will have

  • Proven practical field experience in conservation, agriculture or forestry
  • Ability to use a range of herbicides and be comfortable doing this (full PPE and training provided)
  • Motivated and passionate about the outdoors
  • Confident in the identification of pest plants and native species
  • Experience with chainsaws, scrub bars and herbicide application
  • A current full driver’s license and ability to drive a manual
  • A good level of fitness and comfort on steep terrain
  • High awareness and strong commitment to health and safety
  • Current Growsafe and First Aid certificates
  • A positive attitude to completing tough, hands‑on work
  • A practical mindset, strong communication skills, and commitment to teamwork.
  • What we offer

  • A strong, supportive team culture where your contribution is genuinely valued
  • Real job satisfaction through work that enhances the local community and makes a meaningful difference to the environment
  • Ongoing training and development to help you succeed and grow in your role
  • A strong health and safety focus, supported by a dedicated H&S team
  • All PPE and equipment provided to ensure you can work safely and effectively
  • Employee discounts and a range of additional benefits
  • Use of a work vehicle for commuting.
  • Please note that applicants must have a current full drivers’ license, NZ residency / citizenship or a valid NZ work visa and will be required to undergo pre‑employment medical and drug screening, as well as ACC and MOJ checks.

    If you have any questions regarding these roles, please contact the hiring managing at careers@nelmac.co.nz and they will be in touch.

    Applications close Thursday, 8th January 2026.
