My passion is leading, and collaborating with, people on complex projects and workstreams. I like to plan strategically with an agile approach to adapt to the changes that will, and should, occur. I am solutions focussed, calm under pressure, able to quickly comprehend complex issues and can think outside the box. This allows me to deliver good value solutions under time pressure. I am a chartered professional engineer in civil, water and land development engineering and a PRINCE2 registered practitioner. I’m active in the professional community including 3 years as chair and 7 years on the committee of the Engineering NZ branch for Top of the South Island and as a member of Water NZ.With over 20 years experience, I have led a wide range of projects in the water, transportation and building sectors, both as a consultant and as a council officer. The scale of these projects has varied from major council (municipal) projects, to commercial, industrial and land developments, to single dwellings. I have been involved with all stages of projects from business case, through analysis, modelling and design, tender evaluation and construction to operations and asset management.My technical engineering has focussed on civil, stormwater, flooding, water supply, wastewater (sanitary sewer) and land development projects. As well as these main areas, I have prior experience in geotechnical and structural design. I’ve been fortunate to be involved in the construction of most projects I’ve designed and to be involved as Engineer to Contract or peer reviewer in projects by others.With a keen interest in sustainable design, I promote and develop low impact, sustainable solutions. I advocate an integrated approach considering the wider issues as well as the key project objectives.I believe in supporting colleagues and sharing knowledge for the benefit of the wider organisation and industry. After 10 years as a toastmaster, I possess the skills and confidence to do this effectively.Specific Skills:project, procurement and contract managementcivil engineeringstormwater and floodinggravity, pressure and on-site wastewaterwater distributionsite grading and flowpathscontractsconstruction observationleading and supervising team membersclient relationship managementSoftware Skills:HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, HY-8, HydroCAD, EPA SWMMEPANETQGISCivil 3DAutoCADMS Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Project, and full Office 365 SuiteInfoworks CSMike StormMike Urban
