Brent Rohloff

Much of my work is in the terrestrial weed space and I am the site manager for a number of Otago-based projects within the LINZ Terrestrial Programme. I am also the project manager for the Mid Dome wilding conifer control programme, which aims to eradicate wilding pines from the iconic Southland high country.

I am highly skilled at all aspects of contractor management, and the delivery of complex projects. My expertise in project planning and resource allocation enables me to leverage all available resources to achieve outstanding results. I am adept at managing risks and making strategic decisions that ensure project success. I'm experienced in the implementation of the Biosecurity Act and have an abiding interest in pest control rules as presented in regional pest management plans and other regulations.

My expertise extends to engagement and liaison with landholders, community, mana whenua and other stakeholders.

My background is in vertebrate pest management, primarily in the TBFree New Zealand programme. I also had high-level oversight of predator control projects for the Department of Conservation and Predator Free Dunedin.
