Recreational Services - Employer Profile

Recreational Services is one of New Zealand’s largest and most diverse parks, grounds and facility management organisations. Founded in 1992 as a specialist golf turf management company, it has grown into a multi-million dollar operation with a huge inventory of plant and machinery, with over 350 staff carrying out all aspects involved with the development and maintenance of parks, reserves and sports fields - including facilities and asset management, project management and long-term contract management across 3,281 park sites. 

We derive great satisfaction from seeing our customers choose us for new work or for existing customers to extend our contract for a further contract term.  This tells us that a customer first culture, continuous improvement policy and long-term commitment to performance excellence are helping us to deliver to highest business standards. We are focused on understanding the individual needs of our customers and providing exceptional service that not just meets but exceeds our customer’s requirements at every level.  We believe parks are unique and this demands a devotion of energy from people with a passion, which we have an abundance of across all levels of our organisation, we are parks people and proud of it. 
 

We are nothing without our people!

The right people can be the difference between parks perfection and mediocrity.  Since 1992 Recreational Services has grown from a team of 5 to a team of over 420 and through this period of growth we have developed a wonderful culture of family.  The notion of family is about supporting each other and having the hard conversations when we need to.  It is about loyalty and always being there through the good and the bad.  We have a diverse team from an educational, cultural and even career driven perspective.  It is a team that we believe in and more importantly it is a team that believes in Recreational Services.

To achieve our company vision we require people who have the passion, knowledge and skills to provide top performance. We attain high levels of these attributes through recruiting the right people, training and development of our people and retaining them and their industry and contract knowledge in the company. Our integrated Human Resources programmes encourage our people to recognise and develop their full potential.  We believe this contributes positively to our staff retention, workplace culture and contract performance.
