👋: Meet Greg Wichman, National Operations Manager, and newly appointed Director and Shareholder of CB Civil. With an impressive 38 years of industry expertise, Greg joined CB Civil's senior leadership team in 2020, bringing invaluable experience from his tenure at McConnell Dowell. Over the course of his career, Greg has valued learning from great senior leaders and fostering strong delivery teams on the ground committed to going above and beyond. Notably, Greg spearheaded the successful completion of the Rosedale AWTP Ocean Outfall project, a groundbreaking feat in New Zealand civil construction at the time. This endeavour encompassed the design and construction of a complex and cutting-edge outfall system, showcasing Greg's dedication to innovation, quality and his ability to drive excellence at every stage of a project. Greg has been integral in setting a quality first culture on-site at CB Civil, and empowering staff to drive broader outcomes for clients. “On a personal level, I strive to share valuable lessons I’ve learnt on my journey with others. This includes teaching my children, Charlize and Steele, that work ethic, compromise, and sacrifice are the keys to success and to a better life,” says Greg. #Operations #Civilconstruction
A great role model in our industry.
I recall asking Greg how the gravity fall worked in the Albany sewer plant. He set up a simple model in the kitchen sink to show me how it worked. It was simple and brilliant and has stayed with me. A great leader and a great teacher. Congratulations Greg.
Gday Greg. Wow, you are looking very fit and healthy, hope all is going terrifically well at CB - looks like it. All tbe best Mate
Great Stuff Greg. Hopefully we can work together again in the future when I return home
Congratulations Greg. They’re good sentiments and I know you practice what you preach. Remember the frustrating lack of focus on site safety in the early days of SCIRT and how we turned that around to over 3million working hours without a single lost time injury and continued to some of the best safety practices in the industry? You were an important leader in that success. And remember how we learnt the importance of collaboration? Best wishes
Lovely to be introduced to you through this post Greg. And learn of the solid foundation you put behind your family and infrastructure' That will benefit generations to come. The long game - with passion. Thank you, and Congrats
