There is only one rocket research company in NZ http://www.rocketlab.co.nz/ but no idea how much they are doing.
Admin role could be applied to any office situation really. What about your own skills ?
Universities might be a good option possibly.

I haven't come across them before but it's good to know.
There are loads of options out there but there just doesn't seem to be any in this particular industry and seeing as that's what she does currently(procurement, legal) and finds interesting it would be nice to find something similar, not essential though by any means.
As for me, I'm a general dogs body and can do a number of things without speacialising in any. "Jack of all trades master of none" as they say.
I have thought of uni but only after the kids are in school would I have the time to do it.

According to Facebook, ASKAP is now being commissioned. MWA contractors have completed site works and a bunch of student (called the "Student Army") including myself are going up to complete the antenna installation, leaving on Thursday. That is about all that I know regarding pre- SKA. The full blown SKA would not start employing for a little while yet until they know what is going to be built. I believe the Pawsey Centre is being constructed now but all so far contracted out. I also think most of the construction phased are contracted via Federal Government so it is possible advertising searches are best done on-line instead of newspaper.

Sounds like a excellent opportunity Malcom, it'd be an experience to remember for sure. I hope it all goes well.
That's what I was thinking, the government would tender the contracts out to private companies and then go through them. I guess we have to wait until the tender process is done with.
