We live in Hamilton now, but I think the scenery is better in the South Island. If you like the outdoors it’s worth considering the South Island. Christchurch is pretty well located to get out to a lot of outdoorsy places.
I’m pretty out of touch with the IT field now, but a few years ago there was a lack of experienced or senior level IT engineers in Christchurch. Lots of junior applicants but any good experienced senior level ones would get snapped up quickly. I’m not sure what it’s like now though.
Thanks for the tips. We've been exploring Christchurch and surroundings, and we prefer Wellington. Canterbury is quite flat when you go inland, and hiking areas seem to be sparse. We've lived in Welly for about ten years and still find new hiking trails.
I've quickly scanned Seek and there are only 15 or so open contract positions in CHC, and about 120 in Wellington. I'm not keen on permanent yet.
No worries mate, hope you find what you’re looking for!
