Tony Greeve

Tony joined the Site Safe team in January 2013 as a Safety, Health and Environmental Advisor and Trainer.

Tony has great expertise in the carpentry trade. His carpentry background developed during his 20 year span in the New Zealand Army. During this time he moved from non-commissioned officer to Warrant Officer, with the shared responsibility for operational maintenance of Waiouru Military Camp and Housing Area.

Tony then began his 17 year career at the Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation (BCITO), as a Training Advisor and then the Central North Island Regional Manager. He was responsible for growing the Palmerston North BCITO team to 10 Training Advisors and two administrative staff over nine year period (2001- 2010). Tony has proven human resource management skills, including the recruitment and appointment process, training and supervision.

Following that period, Tony spent some time as a self-employed contractor working as an assessor for the Licensed Building Practitioner Scheme. Tony is a qualified assessor and gained NZQA Unit Standards in ‘Assessment of Adult Learning and Moderation’.

Through his valuable skills, knowledge and education of the carpentry sector, Tony can clearly see how health and safety programmes impact on businesses and change the attitude and culture on site.
