• Executive Project Director/Leader

  • Oct 2018 - Apr 2019

  My main project at the moment is leading the Warkworth to Wellsford Notice of Requirement and consenting. This is a huge project and is the largest earthworks motorway project ever in New Zealand. The project once completed will provide a new alignment over three catchments, from the west-side of Warkworth where it will join in with the new Puhoi to Warkworth motorway to North of Wellsford in the North. The new road will reduce the number of fatalities and accident by a considerable amount especially around key problem areas like the Dome Valley. As the project leader I am fortunate to bring together the expertise of NZTA, Jacobs/GHD and Chapman Tripp to drive ac practical, collaborative, innovative and well-tested quality outcome. The main disciples involved in the project are Planning, Science, Engineering and Legal.
