Have 10+ years' experience in environment and sustainability consulting (or adjacent industries)
Bring proven expertise across infrastructure and property projects
Are well connected in the NZ market and can leverage networks across industry, government, and professional bodies
Have a strong grasp of ESG trends and tools, including decarbonisation, circularity, and climate strategy
Bring a commercial mindset and track record of identifying, shaping, and securing work
