Municipal services platform for 1.5M+ residents across transport, consents, and infrastructure
Auckland Council operates a large-scale government technology estate spanning GIS (ArcGIS Pro/Online/Enterprise), spatial modeling (TUFLOW, HEC-RAS), data analytics (Snowflake, Power BI), and Microsoft enterprise stack (365, Entra, SharePoint, Power Automate). Hiring is accelerating across operations, support, and engineering roles, with active project load centered on stormwater management, resource consents, and policy implementation—reflecting the operational complexity of serving 1.5 million residents across multiple council-controlled organizations.

Auckland Council is New Zealand's unitary authority, established in 2010, delivering municipal services to over 1.5 million residents. The organization manages a broad portfolio: resource and building consents, rubbish and recycling, bylaws, events, parks, and policy development for the Auckland Unitary Plan. Three independent council-controlled organizations—Auckland Transport, Tātaki Auckland Unlimited, and Watercare—operate specific assets and services on the Council's behalf. The workforce of 5,001–10,000 includes elected representatives, specialist advisors, and operational delivery teams distributed across engineering, support, library services, legal, security, and construction functions.
Primary GIS tools are ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, and ArcGIS Enterprise. Spatial modeling is supported by TUFLOW and HEC-RAS, with QGIS also in use. These support stormwater management and geotechnical site inspection work.
Primary tools: Microsoft 365 ecosystem (Office, Teams, SharePoint, Power Automate, Entra), Salesforce, SAP, Snowflake, Power BI, ArcGIS suite, and specialist geospatial software (TUFLOW, HEC-RAS). Forensic Toolkit and Splunk are in use for security and monitoring.
