"The great thing about Beca is our depth of capability in almost any aspect of project definition, design or delivery across multiple sectors."
Keith joined Beca in 1986 as a graduate engineer in Wellington, and was initially involved in Building Services design. When Beca's Singapore office secured the Bugis Junction project in 1990, Keith seized the tremendous career development opportunity, assisting with delivering this project in 1995. This challenging project was a milestone project for Keith and Beca in Singapore.
Keith returned to Wellington to lead the Building Services team, getting involved in several local developments such as St James Theatre, the Wellington Stadium and then the Wellington Airport redevelopment. On completion of the Airport project, Keith returned to Singapore as Managing Director, securing the services design for the Republic Polytechnic. This project went on to win multiple ‘green building’ awards with its market leading energy efficiency.
Keith returned to New Zealand and is now the General Manager of Project and Cost Management. He continues to practice as Project Director and Beca Job Director on projects such as the Fonterra Mosgiel redevelopment and as Director of the joint Deloitte Beca Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) Project Management Office (PMO).
"The collegiality and peer support at Beca creates a fantastic environment for career progression, especially when coupled with the scale and variety of projects Beca contributes to in one way or another," he says.
