New Zealand has a significant infrastructure challenge that is going to require an unprecedented period of investment. Deloitte New Zealand’s newly strengthened infrastructure offering has added experienced professionals who allow the firm to work alongside our clients to deliver solutions across the asset lifecycle, in both the public and private sectors.
The dedicated infrastructure team draws on a strong understanding of the infrastructure market in Australia and New Zealand, as well as a pragmatic perspective on how to address the infrastructure challenges that lie ahead.
Norm Castles – has recently joined Deloitte as a partner in the infrastructure and commercial advisory, bringing with him more than 20 years of experience in major projects advisory, establishment and delivery.
Castles’ background in the provision of advisory services to major infrastructure and asset intensive organisations has provided him with extensive skills in programme governance, procurement strategy, design management, due diligence, project assurance, and project delivery.
“There is a critical need to drive awareness of the broad-based benefits of smart and responsible infrastructure and create a roadmap to enable better decision-making. When infrastructure is planned both intentionally and responsibly, it can provide significant benefits to individuals, communities, future generations, and the environment,” Castles said.
Also newly appointed are Deloitte directors Liz Robinson and Trevor Manners.
Robinson is a project manager, risk manager, and civil engineer with significant experience in logistically challenging transportation and building projects. She is practiced in risk analysis and management, engineering management, contract administration, and procurement.
With experience working across the asset lifecycle, from portfolio strategic planning through capital project delivery, Manners has a deep understanding of the complex challenges that clients face when resolving infrastructure issues. He brings strategic asset management, asset planning, governance, delivery model strategies, procurement, and project and design management skills to Deloitte.
“We are committed to investing in our skillset across infrastructure and urban regeneration and will be welcoming additional technical experts in the coming months,” Castles said.
