Kevin Merrigan

Kevin has a background in mechanical and biomedical engineering, and experience delivering complex technical facilities across Ireland and Australia before bringing that expertise to New Zealand. He began his career designing and delivering pharmaceutical manufacturing plants, highly serviced, process-driven facilities where the technical and coordination demands are particularly high.

Throughout his career Kevin has moved between engineering and project management, giving him a strong technical foundation and a practical understanding of how complex projects are delivered. He now works fully in project management, where that background allows him to challenge solutions, make decisions quickly and help teams focus on what is most important to get a project delivered.

At RCP, Kevin works across both property and infrastructure, including complex facility projects, seismic strengthening and water infrastructure programmes. He also leads RCP's team within Wellington Water, building a strong, long-term relationship in the water sector.

Kevin gravitates to complex, highly technical projects where there are multiple stakeholders and competing priorities to navigate. Alongside his project work, he puts real time into mentoring and developing others.
