JAY PANCHANI
Civil Engineer
As a boy, Jay Panchani used to go with his dad to construction sites, playing in the sand and mud, and hopping into any piece of heavy machinery with an open door.
Now, Auckland based Jay’s role at Envelope involves a range of work from design to construction and completion of land development projects.
His strengths are in understanding land development design standards and legislation. He has experience in civil and structural engineering, with expertise in both commercial and residential developments in high density urban areas.
Jay was born in Kenya and came to New Zealand to complete his Bachelor of Civil Engineering in Auckland.
Previous projects include an array of work from a school infrastructure upgrade to residential subdivisions, and the design of a retirement village apartment complex.
Outside work, Jay enjoys playing badminton and cycling, and catching up with friends over a curry. Though New Zealand is his home and he loves travelling around the country, his favourite place in the world is back in his homeland at the Maasai Mara National Reserve.
Jay loves the fact he is often out of the office on construction sites, reminding him why he first wanted to become an engineer as he played in the dirt of his native Kenya.
