Dear Mr Luke
RE: OIA 20-21-10 NZTE Org chart, Job descriptions and Vacancies
Thank you for your email of 19 October 2019 regarding an Of icial Information Act 1982 (the
Act) request, seeking:
1. Any position that are currently vacant and how long it has been vacant for.
2. The job title and the relevant job description/salary band of these roles.
3. Any future opening or planned recruitment in 2022, in particular the job based
offshore, and the relevant job description/salary band.
Regarding Questions One and Two, NZTE interprets a vacant position as existing once
approval has been given to recruit. Following approval, NZTE typically advertises as soon as
practically possible on its careers site: https:/ www.nzte.govt.nz/about/careers/jobs/. This
website contains both internal and external vacancies. Internal vacancies are only visible to
NZTE staff. As at the date of this letter (5/11/2021), there are currently eight vacant positions
being advertised. When vacancies are advertised you will find a position description on each
job advert.
Exceptions to the above include: when advertising is held due to the time of year (e.g.
holiday periods), if the role is short term, or the role is a redeployment opportunity.
Regarding Question Three, NZTE is unable to comment on roles yet to become vacant that
it has no knowledge of. We can however provide a list of our overseas Trade Commissioner
roles with terms due to expire in 2022. Please note, Trade Commissioners terms can be
extended. This information is attached as Attachment One.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision.
Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz
or freephone 0800 802 602.
Yours sincerely,
Melissa Trochon
