GHD, one of the world’s leading engineering, architectural and environmental consulting companies, has appointed Evan Mayson to the role of Business Group Manager for Northern New Zealand.

Evan joined GHD four years ago, initially to develop GHD's management consulting business before taking the role of Central Regional Manager. In this position he appointed a leadership team and developed a stronger focus on clients and collaboration across GHD's five offices in the region. Most recently, Evan has led the Auckland Transport Business Group and established GHD's positioning within the new Auckland governance environment.

GHD General Manager Gary Payne said, “Evan’s extensive knowledge and insight around development and management of infrastructure in an international context make him an ideal fit for this role. His achievements both at GHD and in his earlier career have been considerable, and his skills will significantly enhance GHD’s service to clients in the Northern region.”

Before joining GHD, Evan was part of engineering consultancy Royds Garden (later Montgomery Watson), setting up its Auckland office before running MWH's International Division, including World Bank and ADB projects in the Pacific and south-east Asia.  

Evan also worked for Volunteer Service Abroad on a water project in Papua New Guinea, and in Thailand, as a water resources adviser on a New Zealand government aid irrigation project. He spent two years on a World Bank water project in the Rift Valley, Kenya and also had early exposure to water resource engineering in roles with the Ministry of Works in New Zealand’s South Island.

Evan holds a Bachelor of Engineering in civil engineering from the University of Canterbury, and an MSC in Business from the Imperial College of London. He has served on the Council for Volunteer Service Abroad and PINZ (Polytech International New Zealand), an academic board that exports New Zealand educational skills.
