Keeper
Ectotherm | Auckland Zoo
We are
currently seeking an experienced Ectotherm keeper to join the Zoo's Animal Care
& Conservation team. Working under the Team Leader of Ectotherms, the
primary focus of the role is to help deliver the care of the Zoo's reptiles,
amphibians, fish & invertebrates, providing best practice husbandry,
contributing to our knowledge of these species through research and
publication, and delivering world-class animal habitats and meaningful
encounters to our 700,000 annual visitors. You will also help to develop and
deliver a portfolio of related conservation programs in the field.
This is a rare opportunity to play a key role in the development of the Zoo's
ectotherm section, to actively contribute to conservation both in the zoo and
in the field, and to work with some of the world's most extraordinary
ectotherms including unique New Zealand taonga like tuatara, wētāpunga and
Archey's frog. The section maintains a growing number of ‘exotic’ species, soon
to be complimented by an authentically-themed South East Asian ‘Swamp Forest’
tropical dome, which will be home to Sunda gharial, freshwater turtles, tortoises,
and thousands of fish. The exciting challenges of bringing this complex project
to life is just ahead.
