- Assisting with the Stormwater Academy, connecting globally, and growing an improved workforce to meet future challenges.
- Liaising with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders including mana whenua, urban designers, clients, and technical experts across many disciplines.
- Providing guidance and mentoring to junior staff to grow their skill.
