Working here

Mid Canterbury is an economic powerhouse, underpinned by the established and reliable agribusiness sector and related industries and also by tourism, manufacturing, retail and many other business sectors. There is exceptionally low unemployment which means income levels are competitive and above average and there are lots of good opportunities for school leavers.

The continued strong growth of the district is seeing increased demand for skilled and unskilled staff in a range of industries including retail, manufacturing, engineering, and building trades. Significant opportunities are available for entrepreneurs and business people and for service professionals such as teachers, doctors, dentists, lawyers and accountants as well as technical specialists.

Imagine the perfect work life balance — you can be at work within just a few minutes of leaving home in the morning (no traffic problems here!), you can go home to enjoy a family lunch and after work, within minutes, you could be boating, kayaking, hiking, playing golf or enjoying other pastimes with family or friends. Life just gets better!
