Levi McKenna

Drainage Foreman
With a decade-long occupation in civil drainage, I bring extensive hands-on experience and a commitment to excellence to every project I undertake. While my foundation is rooted in technical expertise, I’m currently improving my project management skills through dedicated study and mentorship within my robust professional network. My journey in civil drainage work has been defined by continuous skills development and team mentorship and by the relationships I’ve built along the way. Possessing excellent people skills, I thrive in collaborative environments, fostering strong connections with colleagues, clients and stakeholders alike. Outside of Tuffnell Drainage I consider myself as very approachable, appreciating opportunities to engage with others and expand my horizons. However, my greatest joy stems from moments spent with my cherished family, including my beloved dog Roxy, who adds infinite joy to our lives. Together we embark on adventures, often hitting the open road with our caravan in tow and creating lifetime memories. Driven by a passion for continuous growth and dedication to both personal and professional fulfilment, I am always ready to tackle new challenges and make meaningful contributions wherever my journey may lead.

Jesse Harbrow

Drainage Foreman
I am a Registered Drainlayer and I have 8 years drainlaying experience working in the Civil and Drainage Industry. I came onboard with Tuffnell Drainage in 2018 as a Drainlayer and currently fill the role of Drainlayer Foreman overseeing various civil, commercial and residential contracts and also support the CCTV Operations side of the business. My strengths are to supervise teams effectively to get projects done within required timeframes offering best quality and workmanship to our clients. Away from work you will find me spending time outdoors in North Canterbury with my beautiful family. I enjoy cars and Motorsport, as well as tinkering away with mechanical projects at home.

Andrew Redmond

Drainage Foreman/CCTV & Waterblaster Operator
I joined Tuffnell Drainage in December 2011 as a drainlayer and truck driver, assisting with various civil and construction projects. I now fill the role of a Drainage Foreman and assist with CCTV and waterblasting/unblocking service of drains, which I continue to oversee today. I strive to put my best efforts into my tasks and I enjoy the customer contact and good after service feedback of a job well done. I enjoy working with my team mates and appreciate a good banter with them. Weekends you will find me around Southbridge assisting the locals with drainlaying and plumbing services. I enjoy spending time with my family as often as I can, attending my grandchildren’s sports and activities and family gatherings. We also enjoy road tripping around New Zealand.

Nick Cumming

Drainage Foreman
I am a Plumber & Drainlayer and came on board with Tuffnell Drainage in September of 2023. I have 9 years experience in this industry and have mostly worked on residential projects in my previous employment. I am extending my knowledge and dipping more into commercial projects with Tuffnell Drainage which has been exciting to elevate my knowledge in the drainage industry. I have a deep understanding of local building codes and regulations which allows me to navigate projects seamlessly. I really enjoy working with my crew at Tuffnell Drainage and look forward to broadening my skills. Outside of work you will find me in a river 4WD in my truck and spending time with friends and family.
