2016 National Association of Women in Construction Professional Woman of the Year (Construction Category), Lynne is an outstanding leader with 25 years experience on major infrastructure projects in Egypt, South Africa and back in her home country, the UK. Since immigrating to New Zealand in 2005, she has built a formidable career with Fletcher, holding senior roles on the Northern Busway, Victoria Park Tunnel and the $1.4 billion Waterview Connection.
As Construction Manager for the Northern Section of the Waterview project, Lynne was responsible for a $180 million work scope, comprising four separate motorway-to-motorway interchange ramps that total 1.7km in length and, in places, tower more than 20m above ground. The mega viaducts traverse six motorway lanes - carrying over 50,000 vehicles per day.
