Whether you are a recent graduate, are about to finish a postgraduate research project, or developed in industry to an expert level, we have multiple positions that will fit your experience, and a defined path to progress as your career grows within the team and the GCSB.

The Salary Ranges for the three levels are:

• Level 1 $68,724 - $103,086
• Level 2  $79,797 - $119,695
• Level 3  $93,497 - $140,245

So whilst you may not have considered a career in intelligence, you could have the life experience, talents and transferable skills to start a career like no other.  If this sounds interesting and you want to apply, then you will need to be able to demonstrate the following:

• A high level of resilience to undertake a wide variety of tasks.
• Experience in motivating, collaborating with and influencing others to achieve results.
• Self-discipline and personal integrity with an ability to obtain and maintain a high level security clearance.

• Recruitment testing, including a number of assessments and psychometric testing, for these roles will run from late-October to late-November in Wellington or Auckland.
• If successful a four month pass/fail Surveillance Officer course commences late June 2020.
