Infrastructure Sustainability, Consenting & Delivery

I support infrastructure clients to integrate sustainability, consenting strategy and disciplined delivery into complex programmes. My experience spans major transport, water and energy projects across New Zealand, the UK and APAC, with a focus on credible evidence, governance and decision ready reporting.

As the former New Zealand Lead for the Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC), I’ve helped project teams embed carbon, climate adaptation, biodiversity, circular economy and governance considerations into planning, design and delivery. I also provide quality evidence review and support for IS ratings, ensuring documentation is robust, auditable and aligned with framework intent.
