About TechCollect NZ

Aotearoa New Zealand generates tens of thousands of tonnes of e-waste every year. Most of it has nowhere safe or convenient to go. TechCollect NZ exists to change that. We are the country's only free nationwide e-waste collection and recycling scheme, funded by industry and free for consumers.

The opportunity

TechCollect NZ is at a turning point. We have applied to the Government to transition from a voluntary scheme to a nationally accredited product stewardship organisation. We are looking for an Independent Director who brings sector knowledge, governance experience, and the energy to help a small, purpose-driven organisation navigate its most important growth phase.

What we are looking for

Required

• A strong governance background with experience serving on boards or governance bodies.
• Financial literacy, including the ability to read and interrogate financial reports and budgets.
• Sound judgement, integrity, and the ability to act in the best interests of a not-for-profit organisation.
• Independence from TechCollect NZ's members, recycling partners, and service providers.

Highly desirable

• Knowledge of, and networks within, the waste, resource recovery, or environmental services sector in New Zealand.
• Experience working with or within local government, particularly in waste minimisation or environmental regulation.
• Familiarity with the circular economy, product stewardship, or extended producer responsibility frameworks.

How to apply

Please send your CV and a brief cover letter (no more than two pages) to:
Daniel Tulloch

TechCollect NZ is committed to diversity and encourages applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
