Unlike other major cities offering the same career opportunities as Pulp & Paper, the Kinleith, Tasman and Whakatane Mills are based in 'rural New Zealand'. That comes with added bonuses...
Traffic congestion won't be a problem to you - instead of being asked how long you sat in traffic you will be asked how many times you went skiing, fishing, surfing or mountain biking.
Sunshine's a sort of habit in the Eastern Bay of Plenty, the climate and natural environment get together and turn on something special. The Tasman and Whakatane Mills rest in the heart of the eastern Bay of Plenty with Whakatane and beautiful Ohope beach the closest town. Less than an hour away past some of NZ's most gorgeous lakes and bush is Rotorua in one direction, and Tauranga the other.
The Central Plateau of NZ provides access to a wide range of activities in both winter and summer. The Kinleith Mill is on the edge of the action packed Central Plateau within easy biking distance of Tokoroa with its affordable housing, and within easy driving distance of Rotorua, Taupo, Cambridge and Tauranga. Rotorua and Taupo have great restaurants and night life as well as plenty to entertain you if extreme sport is your thing with bungy jumping, zorbing and parachuting available. And there are always plenty of hot pools to recover in after an action packed day.
Working at either Kinleith, Tasman or Whakatane means mountain biking, hiking, climbing, hunting, skiing, kayaking, surfing and water-skiing are all on your doorstep every time you step out the door.
Most major sporting and cultural tours and events come to the Waikato and Bay of Plenty.
Rotorua is recognised as New Zealand's second most visited tourist destination in the country. You could enjoy its attractions every weekend!
