Job Opportunity: Architect And Landscape Architect:Job description:Architect And Landscape ArchitectPayment: Accommodation & Paid ($22)Job location: Matapouri Region: Northland & Bay of Islands practice: practice Necessary Contact: Geoff Listing Added: 19/10/2022 We are restoring our little farmlette to productive land use and as a sanctuary for human guests and native bush animals. We would like to build some green houses and refurbish some of the outbuildings to be more welcoming and enjoyable. We would also like to layout and establish a permaculture market garden with irrigation, sustainable and resilient energy etc,. This requires architectural expertise and landscape design expertise – really helps if you understand permaculture, organic growing and gardening. Helps even more if you are a practical builder and willing to combine working on the land with working on the drawing board and design. We are very close to lovely beaches so if you enjoy access to beautiful beaches, enjoy working outdoors, living in nature and are great at design, this may be for you. About the place Our farmlette is located in Matapouri between a beautiful swim beach (2km) and yacht harbor (4km) with a great surf beach further down the road (6 km). You can camp on the farm for free. We provide a semi shelter area, a fridge, BBQ with cooker plate, clean filtered water and electricity to charge phone etc., There is reasonable cellular internet access and occasional internet access from the farm house. Access to shower and toilet facilities is provided. Who does this suit The ideal person would have a background in architecture, landscape architecture and sustainable design. They would have practice creating spaces for people that were in harmony with nature. They would enjoy physical work and enjoy hands on building things. We invite people of any gender, ethnic background and nationality to apply. You must have authorization to work in New Zealand and have an IRD number. This job could be for one person or two people. About the work and compensation The work would depend on the person. There is the concept phase, design phase and a procurement and build phase. In between all that there is a need to work physically on the land. This is valuable to understand the land and get a feel for how Information technology currently operates and have time to think about ideas. The work pays $22 for each hour worked. There are typically no set hours so that you can work during cooler mornings or evenings and go to the beach when Information technology is nice but we will coordinate as some jobs will require all of us. We expect a minimum of 30 hours and a max of 40 hours per week as more than that leads to errors and general grumpiness. Only consider this job if you also plan to spend time enjoying yourself in the area such as hiking, swimming, biking or surfing. The free accommodation is a big plus as this saves a lot of money as accommodation in the area is scarce and expensive. Generally, you need at least a car and a tent - a camper works well. Best to bring work boots, ear and eye protection, gloves, kneepads and coveralls. Some of this can be provided but sturdy footwear is critical. Boots are required at a minimum. We seek to have a safe, inclusive, collaborative work / live culture. Any gender, ethnicity or national origin may apply. About us My wife and I own the farmlette and Information technology has been our home for the last 3 years. We enjoy hiking, yoga, swimming and biking. We are part-time working professionals and sometimes travel for work. I will be working on most of the projects or doing other work while you work autonomously. There are no farm animals, pets or children on the land just native birds and rabbits. We try to avoid using toxins of any kind. Drop us a note with a resume and tell us what you are looking for and what you are good at. The more you tell us in the resume and application, the more likely we are to contact you for an interview. Honesty and integrity are important on both sides. We interview people on video a few times to make sure they understand the work and accurately represent their capabilities. Skills:
