Full Time
Thames School of Mines is part of a portfolio of historic properties managed by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga and is one of Coromandel’s high profile visitor sites.
Thames School of Mines tells early New Zealand history, starting with the chief Te Apurangi whose descendants lie in the sacred urupā. The original education buildings look (and smell!) much the same as they did in the past, and feature authentic period equipment and laboratories. The Mineralogical Museum holds one of the best collections in the Southern Hemisphere, with more than 3000 specimens which include fossils from both New Zealand and abroad. Gold mining made this part of the Coromandel into a boom town and Thames School of Mines reflects the history and science of gold mining in the Hauraki Gold Fields.
This is an opportunity to be part of a small team to move this exciting property forward and realise its full potential as a leading heritage attraction.
The Property Lead role includes site and staff management and administration tasks required to conserve and promote this property.
