Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Gough is a seasoned civil engineer based in New Zealand with 35 years of hands-on experience delivering planning, design and implementation for greenfield and brownfield projects across NZ and the Pacific, including the Solomon Islands, Fiji and the Philippines. He has progressed through technical and leadership roles at SKM—from site delivery and feasibility studies to team leadership and regional operations management—currently overseeing civil engineering design and project delivery. Known for managing infrastructure programs in challenging environments, he led the RAMSI Infrastructure & Related Services Project in the Solomon Islands, combining construction oversight with capacity-building. Unusually for a civil engineer, he has contributed to open-source software (fixing Lua compilation issues and adding extension support in the widely used Premake project), reflecting a pragmatic problem-solver who bridges engineering and technical tooling.
