• A two-year rotational programme
• Opportunities to contribute to meaningful work that makes a real difference to New Zealand
• Ongoing learning and development opportunities that will set you up for the future
• Understanding of a complex public sector organisation
• Mentoring from a senior manager
• Opportunity to apply for permanent or ongoing roles at the Transport Agency on programme completion.
