Simon N. Cathcart, MSc(Hons) CEnvP CPESC

National Environmental Manager
HEB Construction Ltd
Hamilton, Waikato, New Zealand

I'm an Environmental Practitioner with a focus on building and leading the best team of environmental and sustainability professionals in the New Zealand construction industry. Consistently demonstrating to our clients, communities and regulators that HEB Construction leads the Tier 1 construction companies that build our Nation's infrastructure in delivering sound, straight forward, and efficient management of environmental performance and compliance across the vast array of environmental matters that require attention when constructing large complex projects in sensitive environments.

Experience allows me to quickly identify and direct Projects and Clients along the most effective and efficient path to address often complex hurdles and roadblocks created by conditions and constraints imposed by resource consents /Designations/wildlife permits/archaeological authorities while my strong understanding of construction methodology, constraints and implications, allows me to find the very best solution for the environment.

I am passionate about and focused on:
1. reducing planning bureaucracy and red-tape that actually has not benefit for the environment by simply ensuring the best environmental outcomes through delivery of industry best practice.
2. reducing the cost for our clients and communities of the ever growing burden of imposed obligations created by consultants who then conveniently solve these unnecessary challenges for a fee.
3. raising the standard of environmental performance within the construction industry.
4. delivering value for money to our clients and our communities.
