Mark Underwood, Keolis Downer

“Having worked with Jaime on an extremely complex bid, I can quite honestly say she is a credit to Keolis Downer. Her attention to detail and stewardship of the Operate & Maintain Team Bid Program was imperative to the timely delivery of the returnables. Through Jaime's development, introduction, and management of Operate and Maintain Team bid processes the complex became clear, concise, and more importantly transparent. I highly recommend Jaime in her role and would work with Jaime again at the drop of a hat."

Auckland Senior Leadership Team, ARUP

"Jaime is really focused on going out of her way to see better integration across the office as well as get the Arup brand out there, true to who we are in New Zealand but also consistent with the Australasia region. Jaime has amazing rapport with those she works with, including colleagues in Australia, with her warm and fun approach. She is professional and astute and is not afraid to speak out, ask hard questions and get us all aligned to lift the performance and professionalism of our team."
