Tom Connor

Managing Director

What’s your role within Connor Jones and what are your areas of expertise?

As the Managing Director of Connor Jones, I bring over 19 years of expertise in construction and engineering management.

How long have you been working in the construction / engineering industry?

My journey in the construction and engineering industry started at the age of 16, accumulating nearly two decades of experience.

What’s the most impressive technological advancement or innovation you’ve witnessed in the construction industry?

3D house printing is particularly impressive, where entire homes can be 3D printed on concrete.

If you  could collaborate with any famous architect, engineer, or designer, living or  deceased, who would it be and what type of project would you work on  together?

Ted McCoy. I really enjoy the style of architecture that he produced. During his time, he designed many bespoke housing projects which are now prominant dwellings in Dunedin. I would really enjoy an opportunity to construct a building of that style but with a modern twist.

If you could build any structure in the world, regardless of budget or feasibility, what would it be and why?

If given the opportunity to build any structure, I would love to embark on the construction of a space shuttle terminal or an aquarium.

What do you like to do in your free time, outside of work?

Outside of work, I value quality time with my family. I enjoy reading a good fantasy novel and having fun in various water sports, whether it's fishing or any activity on the water.
