Closing date: Monday 1 December 2025
The Aviation and Marine Engineers Association (AMEA) has a vacancy for two National Union Organisers preferably based in either Auckland or Christchurch, but this is not essential.
The AMEA is a mid-sized union representing members across New Zealand primarily in the aviation, maritime and primary sectors. We currently have 4 union organisers but due to our growing membership we require another two.
We are seeking motivated self-starters, who can work independently and be part of a small close-knit team. Having a trade/engineering background and/or experience as a union organiser is required.
This role involves negotiating and interpreting employment agreements, advocating for workers’ rights, as well as recruiting and organising workers. Familiarity with employment legislation and the ability to foster working relationships with the members and employer is important.
A full driver’s licence and fluency in both written and spoken English are essential to this role. Some overnight travel will be required.
We are affiliated to the NZCTU, but we are not affiliated to any political parties.
A competitive salary package, which includes a vehicle and Koru membership is offered. Applications close on Monday 1 December 2025 @10am.
