About the Location

Hamilton offers the best of both worlds — a vibrant and growing city with an easy-going lifestyle. Avoid the big-city traffic while enjoying modern amenities, river walks, dining options, and easy access to the Coromandel, Bay of Plenty, and Central Plateau.

Our new offices in the heart of the CBD provide a fresh, open-plan space that supports collaboration, flexibility, and productivity. Add in a car park, mobile phone, and regular team social events — and you’ve got a great place to work.
