Amanda is GHD’s Transport Infrastructure Stakeholder Engagement Lead for South Queensland. With more than 20+ years’ industry experience, Amanda has worked on an array of major infrastructure projects, often high-profile and contentious, spanning business case, planning, design and construction.
Amanda is a firm believer that infrastructure projects are much more than a successful ‘engineering solution’. As an Engagement Technical Lead, Amanda is often the ‘voice in the room’, challenging technically focused disciplines to think outside the square, to investigate design or construction alternatives that improve project and stakeholder outcomes. This provides opportunities for Amanda to work right across GHD’s multi-disciplinary project teams, spanning environment, cultural heritage, construction (civil, structures, drainage), road design, transport planning, hydrology, geotechnical and GIS.
With a booming population, record levels of congestion, and with the Olympics on the horizon, Amanda is leading the engagement for some of the largest transport infrastructure projects being designed in Queensland.
Amanda’s passion is pounding the pavement and having real conversations with local communities about infrastructure. She is particularly passionate about the fast-emerging infrastructure sustainability requirements for major infrastructure projects. Amanda has recently become an Infrastructure Sustainability Accredited Professional (ISAP), an accreditation and knowledgebase that is gaining attention by the infrastructure engagement community.
Amanda looks forward to meeting you at this year’s NCEIF to share stories, connect, and enjoy all that Canberra has to offer.
The forum is a not-for-profit event aimed at building capacity within our industry and helping Government and the private sector deliver infrastructure which achieves the best outcomes for all stakeholders.
