At NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA), we believe in the power of diversity, equity and inclusion, and we’re committed to building a culture where everyone feels they belong. This means a place where we all feel valued, respected, and supported to be ourselves and thrive, and we reflect the diverse communities of Aotearoa New Zealand.
This will make NZTA an even better place to work, increase our innovation and creativity, and enhance relationships with our stakeholders so we can develop great transport solutions that meet the diverse needs of our communities.
