People: Traffic and highways firm hires New Zealand earthquake specialist; Promotions at recruitment business; and more

Senior highways and traffic specialist Aimee Dunne has joined Beverley-based Local Transport Projects (LTP) after spending the last three years in New Zealand as a senior transport engineer, working mainly in the earthquake hit South Island.

Most of Dunne’s work in New Zealand involved multiple and complex transport planning and strategy issues in the Canterbury region of South Island.

Dunne’s technical strategic planning expertise included new and alternative road alignment options related to the earthquake, with responsibility for consulting with and providing different options for inhabitants. She dealt with planning applications for mixed use commercial developments, supermarkets, service stations, schools and retirement villages.

She is now responsible for the technical and engineering aspects of LTP’s growing list of local, regional and national projects, covering access appraisal and dealing with architects and developers.

“She brings with her considerable experience in transportation engineering and transport planning with a wide range of skills and a particular interest in strategic transport planning, policy and sustainable transport,” said Andy Mayo, director LTP.

“As a business we are seeing a growing level of traffic, highways and planning work across the country, including local and regional projects. That makes Aimee a perfect fit for us as she’s achieved notable transport solutions for both private and public sector clients and been directly involved in numerous public consultations and presented evidence as an expert witness at several hearings.”

Established in 2004, LTP provides transport planning, traffic engineering and highway design services to local government, developers, health providers and the education sector.
