Grow a better career with us
At Kaingaroa Tipu (KT) we have an inclusive and supportive work culture, where career development matters and our people have the opportunity to grow every day.
Modern forestry is underpinned by innovation, technology and sophisticated processes. We encourage big and small ideas and embrace technology, and innovation to create better jobs and opportunities.
We are always on the lookout for great people to help grow our talented team. Our main office is located in the Te Papa Tipu Innovation Park in Rotorua, just a short walk from the popular Eastwood Cafe and the world renowned Whakarewarewa Forest where many of our team take the opportunity to enjoy a walk, run or mountain bike ride during their lunch break, or before or after work.
As well as managing some 1,000 contractors across the Kaingaroa Tipu-managed forests, we also operate a tree breeding nursery and laboratory at Te Ngae in Rotorua, and a tree nursery at Rerewhakaaitu.
Our Kaingaroa Processing Plant (KPP), situated at Kaingaroa village, is the centre of our processing operations, supported by a debarker and log yard at Murupara, creating employment in the heart of the Kaingaroa Forest.
The broad nature and scale of our operations allows us to support a diverse range of career paths, as well as offering placements for new graduates and scholarship students.
