Jody Kelly

As a project and programme manager, Jody is a strategic thinker; she thrives on implementing ‘big picture’ overall outcomes, yet remains focussed towards the task at hand. She excels at bringing people together and is an inclusive and constructive communicator. She thrives in community groups, including Māori, embracing the principles of partnership, participation and protection.

Jody has previously worked with Kaipara District Council to manage the Kaihu Valley Trail and the Kaipara KickStart Wharves projects which were externally funded through PGF. She also worked on the Ruapekapeka Road seal extension in the Far North District. This required significant hapū and community engagement due to the proximity of sites of historic and cultural importance including a Pa site. Jody recently project managed Kioreroa Road rising main upgrade, Ruakaka wastewater treatment plant upgrade, and the northern growth stormwater attenuation project.

Jody was previously a tutor for the Diploma in Civil Engineering at NorthTec in Whangārei. Jody supports the professional development of our clients and staff by sharing her knowledge of project management and procurement.
