About the role
Immigration Border Operations facilitates the entry of legitimate passengers and keeps immigration risk offshore by working collaboratively with other teams in INZ and other border agencies. We also ensure risk is managed at the earliest possible point in the immigration process and provide assurance for the immigration system.
Border Officers undertake both offshore and onshore duties within Immigration Border Operations. The role is critical not only for managing risk with the large volumes of people that come through New Zealand’s border, but also for creating a positive first impression of New Zealand.
A Border Officer rostered on Onshore duties would be responsible for engaging with passengers on arrival, gathering information, investigating facts, assessing risk and making a determination regarding whether the passenger meets New Zealand entry requirements according to policy and legislation. You will be responsible for applying Immigration legislation and policy in a fair and firm manner.
Immigration Border Operations sits within the Border and Visa Operations branch of Immigration New Zealand (INZ), a group within MBIE. Border and Visa Operations play a critical role in ensuring quality and up-to-date visa and border entry decisions. We ensure INZ’s visa decision-making offices (both offshore and onshore), and the border operations function effectively.
Full training will be provided to enable you to carry out these tasks.
Skills and experience required:
To apply for Immigration New Zealand roles, applicants must be New Zealand citizens or New Zealand permanent residents. You must also be eligible to obtain and maintain appropriate airport security clearances (check your eligibility here). Note, it is essential to have no criminal convictions to obtain the necessary clearances.
Shift work and roster pattern:
All Border Officers are required to work on a rotating roster which includes weekends, night shifts and public holidays. You will be required to work an average of 40 hours per week on a rotating shift pattern that spans 24hours/7days a week operation. Your shift pattern may change regularly depending on training and operational requirements. The shift roster will be set by your manager. A large degree of flexibility is required and there are times that you will be required to work additional hours to complete the requirements of your role.
Recruitment process:
For your application to be considered, please ensure you answer all pre-screening questions upon application.
