placeChristchurch calendar_month 

TEMPORARY FULL TIME POSITION to cover Maternity Leave from 13th April 2026 to 24th January 2027

Protecting the health of our water.

We believe that’s worth caring about.

At Citycare Water, we’re proud to be the country’s largest dedicated experts in three waters – around 600 good people, making it happen across 10 locations. We specialise in water network maintenance and reticulation renewal construction. We service almost a quarter of properties nationwide; and we maintain over 20,000kms of pipe network.

That’s 2X the length of NZ’s state highways! Water may seem like such an everyday thing, but that’s what makes it so important. Every day, every living thing needs it.

So, join us on our mission to ensure every community has access to safe water for life - we believe that’s worth striving for.

About the job:

We are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Finance Administrator to join the Citycare Water team on a temporary basis.

In this role, you will support the Water Division with a range of finance administration tasks. This includes purchase order management, invoice processing, timesheet support, and assisting with stock and reporting activities. You’ll also help with contract revenue processes, invoicing, and liaising with internal teams, suppliers, and customers to resolve queries.

This is a varied role where no two days are the same, and your ability to stay organised and work to deadlines will be key.

About you:

  • Previous clerical or finance administration experience (1–2 years minimum)
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy
  • Confident using Microsoft Office and general computer systems
  • Good communication skills – both written and verbal
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks and meet deadlines
  • A proactive, team-focused attitude
  • Reliable, punctual, and professional

Benefits and culture:

We offer an inclusive and vibrant company culture where effort is rewarded, fresh ideas are welcome, and success is celebrated. No two days are ever the same, and the opportunities are limitless. We also prioritise job security and are committed to supporting our people through good times and bad.

All successful applicants will need to pass a pre-employment drug and alcohol screening test, MOJ check and health and safety inductions.

If this sounds like you and you can commit, we would like to hear from you.

Please apply with your CV and a cover letter to charmaine.fairbrass@citycarewater.co.nz
