Bjorn is passionate about leading teams that deliver critical infrastructure and essential services and is looking forward to joining an organisation that plays such an important role in the North Canterbury community.

Bjorn joins MainPower from Opuha Water, where, as Chief Executive, he established the systems, processes, and organisational capability required to successfully deliver a capital works programme exceeding $40 million while maintaining business-as-usual operations. Prior to this, he held national General Manager positions with Downer and City Care, leading teams of up to 200 people across complex service delivery and infrastructure environments. He also led City Care’s Three Waters emergency response following the Christchurch earthquakes.

Bjorn brings extensive experience in commercial management, procurement, and contract delivery, underpinned by a strong commitment to health, safety, and operational excellence. His proven ability to build high-performing teams and deliver critical infrastructure outcomes positions MainPower’s delivery function for continued success.

Congratulations Bjorn, we wish you all the very best in your new role and joining the executive team at MainPower.
