For many people, the most visible part of MAF is the work of our Quarantine Inspectors and detector dogs at New Zealand’s international airports. But there’s a whole lot more to MAF - something you’ll quickly discover when you join our team.

You’ll find yourself in a busy and diverse organisation with offices around the country - and overseas, too. It’s a business at the centre of many strands of work spanning the public and private sectors.

We play a key part in sustainable economic growth and the prosperity of New Zealanders. We contribute to people’s health and well-being, and the development of a vibrant rural community. And we take a leading role in maintaining and enhancing the economic, social and cultural benefits that come from this country’s incredible natural environment.

In MAF, you’ll be part of a versatile group working across key areas including Biosecurity, Policy, Strategy and Performance, Infrastructure Capability and Compliance, Māori Strategy and Forestry.

What does this mean for you? It means many exciting and challenging areas to get involved in, with scope to take your career forward as far as you want to go. You’ll be doing your bit to help protect and sustain our unique environment. It means plenty of opportunities to build your own personal skills, while making a positive contribution to the wider community.
