Gisborne-based Civil Project Solutions (CPS) is celebrating its 10-year anniversary this month. Since 2013, CPS has delivered over $1 billion of public and private works through civil project management and engineering services across Tairawhiti and now Aotearoa.

In recent years, CPS has established a permanent presence in Wellington, Hawke’s Bay and, with a South Island office now in Queenstown, can mobilise around the country.

Owners Russell and Gretchen Moylan say that without a doubt, their most successful project has been their people.

“When we look back over the last decade, it’s made up of amazing moments involving our staff, clients and contractors.

“We’ve always tried to exceed the expectations of our clients and the team has really taken on this mantra and made it our culture.”

At 24-years-old, Zac Borrie is one of the youngest project managers at CPS and started as a cadet after university.

“It’s just a great place to work,” says Zac.

“To be able to come back from uni and work at a place like CPS in my hometown is awesome.”

CPS has been behind some of Tairawhiti’s largest private and public projects, and is also a major supporter of the community — contributing over $200,000 to a variety of local organisations to date through sponsorship and donations.

“We are quite staunch about the fact we’re local and this means employing and supporting local people,” says Russell.

“If our community is strong, we are strong. It’s what drives us.”

There are some special projects that stand out, he says.

“I think we will always remember the delivery of the PGF (Provincial Growth Fund) recovery investment into the local road network.

“Delivering a record amount of road upgrades like we did showed when we come together, Tairawhiti contractors can deliver for our people and that we have a great depth of local talent and expertise.”

Oakview subdivision is Gisborne’s largest new community subdivision in over 20 years.

“We are extremely proud of Oakview. Not only about the standard of work, but also what it means for the community.

“To play such an important role in

Gisborne’s growth is something we will always remember.”

Asked about what the future holds, Russell and Gretchen said: “As long as we are delivering quality solutions for our clients, we’ll go where the work is and as always, we’ll have a great time doing it.”
