Property Records Officer

It's an exciting time to be in Invercargill and join a future focused Council.

Waihōpai Invercargill is New Zealand's southernmost city and the heart and hub of Southland. We're known for our lush green spaces like Queens Park, our long summer daylight hours and our local legend Burt Munro. Our city has character, charm and a laidback atmosphere. There's outstanding nature reserves, Ōreti Beach, the Waihōpai River, a lively restaurant scene and a sensible gridded layout with wide streets and a 10-minute drive to work.

We are in a chapter of immense growth, building a vibrant city centre and reinvigorating our culture and spaces, and this is an exciting time to join a Council that is focused on the future of our people and our city.

Invercargill City Council are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic individual to join our Property Records team on a permanent full-time basis!

The Property Records Officer is responsible for coordinating and providing high quality, accurate Land Information Memorandums (LIM) to customers within the required statutory timeframes.
