Charlotte Stephen-Brownie

As a Senior Engineering Geologist, Charlotte has experience in engineering geological and contaminated site investigation across the Canterbury, West Coast and Nelson regions.

Charlotte has actively participated in Christchurch-wide site assessments following the earthquakes and has since been engaged in diverse geotechnical projects, encompassing residential and large commercial developments. Her expertise covers the planning and management of site investigations, ground model development, geotechnical hazard assessments, geomorphological mapping, liquefaction and lateral spreading assessments, construction supervision, site monitoring, and foundation design.

Charlotte also works on contaminated sites in site investigation, risk assessment, remediation and consenting, and sites associated with asbestos, petroleum hydrocarbons, pesticide use, and closed landfills.

Charlotte is experienced in reporting to meet the requirements of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE, 2012) guidelines for Christchurch, the Resource Management Act (RMA, 1991) and the National Environmental Standard for Assessing and Managing Contaminants in Soil to Protect Human Health (NESCS, 2011).
