Are you keen on the outdoor environment, like the sound of working outside and enjoy striking up conversation with a diverse range of people?
We’re looking for an engaging, friendly individual to work on the Remutaka Cycle Trail talking to trail users to collect information for participation in our online survey.
The Remutaka Cycle Trail is one of 22 Nga Haerenga great rides in New Zealand. Starting on the Petone foreshore, winding up the Hutt River Trail, over the Remutaka Range, down Lake Wairarapa and around the South Coast, the ride can be done as a 3-day experience or in small sections as a day or half day ride. To maintain our great ride status, we need to collect 500 surveys every year which enables us to gather user insights and be eligible for funding to improve and maintain our trail.
As a Survey Taker, you will be out on the trail in different locations where the trail users (Mainly bike riders) start and finish. Often in Kaitoke at the bottom of the rail trail or hey, take your bike if you have one and ride to the summit. Each day will be a little different as you will visit various spots along the Hutt River trail or maybe venture out to the South Coast.
We are looking for someone who is independent and flexible. You will need to get yourself to the identified location of the day, set yourself up to talk to trail users and gather information which you will email to the trail manager the following day. You will need to be available for one day per weekend throughout April/May (Weather dependent) and a couple of days over Easter and Anzac. For the rest of the year, it will be causal weekends when the weather is fine and survey numbers need a boost.
Your key responsibilities will include:
- Collecting data; Name and email from trail users after seeking their permission to send them a survey link
- Provide via email a spreadsheet of contact details collected
- Answer the occasional question about the trail or location of the nearest toilet stop
Ideally, you will:
- Be approachable, friendly, and confident in approaching people to engage in conversation and ask for personal details
- Have excellent communication skills with the ability to relate to a wide range of people
- Love the outdoors and be happy working outside
- Have your own transport
- Be available to work public holidays including Easter Weekend (2 days out of 4) and Anzac day
- Be available to work weekends
