What does your company do?

“We are civil engineering consultants.That means we design and help our clients look after things like roads, subdivisions, bridges and retaining walls.”

What do you do for sustainability?

“We are completely paperless - that means we store all our work like drawings, reports and calculations electronically. We don’t keep paper copies of anything. All our work also has to comply with the Resource Management Act. This means we have to consider the impacts of our projects on the environment.”

Where in the world do you and your employees travel to work?

“They work all over New Zealand . Most off them do a lot of driving”

What is one more fact that people reading our newsletter might find interesting ?

“Miss McCormack’s (Jan-Marie’s) son, Lucas, is doing his cadetship with us. That means he works for us while he studies towards his engineering diploma.”
