Maritime security and secure trade routes are vital for New Zealand. Our Exclusive Economic Zone is one of the largest in the world, and at 30m square kilometres, our search and rescue area of responsibility is 7% of the earth’s surface. We protect our ocean resources along with our Pacific Island neighbours and help maintain and preserve order in our region. We respond to disasters and crises, carrying people, equipment, supplies and expertise to where they are needed most.
We come from all walks of life and share a strong sense of what it means to be Kiwi - our culture is based on our values Tū Kaha (courage), Tū Tika (commitment), Tū Tira (comradeship) and Tū Maia (integrity). Together, we are Force for New Zealand and are proud to serve Aotearoa and its diverse communities.
We operate a fleet of ships, watercraft, and aircraft for operational tasks and training.
You'll work as part of a tight-knit team, protecting your family, friends, the environment and your country from harm and representing the New Zealand way of life where you go. It's an incredibly rewarding job that gives you a real sense of purpose.
