Outstanding Team Leader Award
2008
Trent Downing, Team Leader Network Management Napier, New Zealand
Trent Downing has shown excellent leadership qualities in leading the East Coast NM team. Trent and his team are highly regarded by a very discerning client for high quality and consistent achievement across a broad range of deliverables.
A recent technical review of Trent’s project concluded that “there is much other teams could learn from your approach to network management which is built on a solid relationship with the client, quality execution of the project deliverables, and a willingness from both parties to drive innovation”.

Not only has she built our Albany-based team, but also provided mentoring and technical guidance to others across the Region; as well as environmental technical inputs on projects across all three WA offices.
Terry Cochrane, Manager Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Auckland, New Zealand
Since Terry Cochrane took up the role of Business Manager M&E he has moved the business forward in many ways, including the fact that the M&E Business in Auckland has just returned an excellent performance for the year 2008, most probably one of the best performances for this group.
