“JC Environmental worked with Downer to deliver the SH4 Culvert replacement. This involved a large box culvert to be installed in an existing stream. Jared was key to the environmental success of the project.

He provided full environmental management, provided practical guidance, periodic monitoring and even got on a shovel! That’s leading by example.

I would happily endorse him for any project. Full compliance with all resource management requirements.”

Senior Project Manager – Downer Taranaki

“JC Environmental and JCE director, Jared Crowley, are a key part of the Waikato Regional Councils compliance monitoring strategy across the region. They have been providing compliance, monitoring and enforcement functions to WRC for several years.

Jared is highly regarded for his knowledge, professionalism, and experience in delivering regulatory functions under the Resource Management Act, principally in the commercial forestry and dairy sectors.

He has been instrumental in providing practical training and on-going mentoring for Council monitoring staff undertaking commercial forestry inspections under the NES-CF framework. He also provides peer review for both compliance staff and Council investigators involved in forestry monitoring and investigations.

Jared recently presented both theoretical and practical sessions during a training day for WRC forestry compliance staff, investigators, and legal providers. Their training involved visiting active forestry operations and feedback from everyone involved was all positive.

JCE and Jared are leading the way in forestry monitoring services in our region, and I have no hesitation in recommending them”.

Team Leader, Investigations - Waikato Regional Council

"I have worked with Jared from JC Environmental on various civil projects since 2021 and highly recommend him for environmental advice.

Jared brings a professional and knowledgeable approach to every project, consistently delivering at a very high level and his ability to develop detailed and practical environmental plans has added immense value to our work. He navigates complex compliance requirements with ease and collaborates effectively with all stakeholders to achieve the best outcomes.

Jared is someone I trust and genuinely enjoy working with, and any company looking for an environmental advisor would be fortunate to have his expertise."

Environmental & Sustainability Manager

Mills Albert Ltd

I've been fortunate to work alongside Jared in providing upskilling and capacity building for mana whenua to support decision making for various construction projects that affect hapū.

Jared & the team at JC Environmental are knowledgeable about all things resource management and compliance. Jared works hard to bring everyone along in the journey, making technical compliance terms and frameworks accessible to the people they are affecting.

I wouldn't hesitate to have JC Environmental on board to ensure sound outcomes on projects where significant environmental impact is proposed.

MY Projects

I've used Jared’s services and training for my team on several times, and the sessions have always been clear, practical, and helpful. Whenever I have new compliance staff starting, he’s the person I contact to provide their initial training, and he consistently supports us in getting them up to speed. I continue recommending his services to other councils in the region.

Anna Martin

Resource Consents and Compliance Manager – Hutt City Council

Jared provided valuable support on the Bupa Earthworks job through periodic site visits and inspections, along with preparing a site‑-specific Environmental Management Plan. Jared was well organised, responsive, and proactive, making it easy to engage and get clear guidance when required. No vague action items in site visit report here!

The environmental plan was practical, well thought out, and tailored to the site conditions, which helped ensure environmental requirements were clearly understood and effectively implemented on site. Jared’s inspections and follow‑-ups were thorough and constructive, identifying potential issues early and providing clear, logical solutions.

From our experience, Jared delivered a professional and reliable service. We would have no hesitation recommending Jared or engaging again on future projects.

Callum Bryson

Contracts Manager - Stringfellows Civil Engineering Contractors

JC Environmental delivered an excellent service throughout the Ohakea Roundabout project. Jared developed practical, well-structured Environmental Management Plans that fully met the Horizons Regional consent conditions and were easy for the our site team to implement.

Their inspections and compliance reports were thorough, timely, and clearly aligned with all project and regulatory requirements.

JC Environmental's proactive approach, clear communication, and attention to detail made environmental compliance straightforward and reliable. I would confidently recommend them for future projects.

Justin Sallie

Project Manager - Fulton Hogan - Manawatu

Jared has represented Higgins as an environmental advisor on the Manawatū-Whanganui NZTA NOC contract, involved in many successful projects on State Highway 4 including Auraki Site 15. Jared's strong environmental experience and practical ability to find solutions in the field translates not only positive results for the project and key stakeholders, but the receiving environment. Jared's regional council compliance background is also very useful when it comes to consent compliance, interpreting rules and legislation and compliance monitoring.

Another benefit of using JC Environmental Ltd is Jared and his team's ability to navigate the consenting process from planning assessment, iwi engagement, erosion and sediment control plan, assessment of environmental effect and application. Jared can also take the process through to consent compliance, construction phase, monitoring and close out. Having a one-stop-shop reduces the time, trouble and cost of having to reach out to many independent consultants

I would highly recommend Jared's services for any consent compliance, project environmental planning, site monitoring, iwi liaison and resource consent applications.

Laurance Main

Environmental Manager – Higgins Contractors

JC Environmental has been instrumental in helping us improve our environmental performance across our harvesting and roading operations. Jared has worked alongside our contractors to provide them with training to upskill their knowledge around the NES-CF and bring practices into line with local council expectations.

Jared has also worked alongside our staff to implement new environmental policies and procedures. He works alongside our staff to provide monthly environmental auditing and monitoring of our consented operations and assists with reporting back to council. Jared is now an integral part of our team and works on a contract basis to provide environmental services when required. His reporting is detailed and thorough and he prides himself in ensuring the best environmental outcomes whilst also keeping operations as efficient as possible.

I can thoroughly recommend JC Environmentals services to any forest management company that needs support in preparation for or during any harvest operations. He provides a high level of service and adds value to any operation.

Woody Martin

Director – Arbor Management Ltd

JC Environmental provides clear, practical support across site compliance risk auditing, interpretation of consent conditions, and development of robust environmental management plans. Their advice is thorough and easy to apply, giving confidence that compliance risks are identified early and managed effectively. We value their professional, solutions-focused approach and strong understanding of regulatory requirements.

Ross Twyman

Network Outcomes Contract Manager - Transport and Infrastructure – Downer

I have worked with Jared since the start of 2024 through our involvement in the Whanganui Prison Waters Infrastructure Upgrade Project. The works have included a new stormwater management system, redirection of the prison’s wastewater discharge, and, more recently, the decommissioning of the now redundant onsite wastewater disposal system.

During this time, Jared and our team have developed a strong professional relationship, with clear lines of communication and a good understanding of the complexities involved in working within an operational prison environment and alongside local iwi to achieve the desired outcomes of improving water quality in the nearby lakes.
