Earth Sciences NZ seeks its first Chief Executive

We are seeking an outstanding Chief Executive to lead our newly established organisation, formed through the merger of GNS Science and NIWA, with MetService soon to join.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a national science leader at a pivotal moment in our formation.

New Zealand's largest science system transformation in three decades creates a leading-edge science organisation that excels in earth, environmental and natural resources science.  It brings together 1,500 talented people across 22 sites, backed by $400 million in assets and $370 million revenue. 

From geological hazards and weather to energy and oceans, we're tackling major environmental challenges while delivering impact for Aotearoa New Zealand.

We're looking for an exceptional leader who will shape and deliver on a unified vision that harnesses the strengths of our founding organisations, balancing commercial success with our vital role in helping New Zealand prepare for and respond to natural hazards.
