PanPac – Lessons in Asset Resilience following Cyclone Gabrielle

Dylan Stuijt, Civil Engineer (NZCE) – Site Engineer, Pan Pac Forest Products Ltd

Dylan is a Civil Engineer, having worked in the public sector for 20 years & private sector for 10 years. Dylan’s career started at the Hastings District Council, covering roading and 3-waters engineering design.
