“While I was with PB, Taraz was a member of my staff for about 8 years in total. He led a small team of wind engineers and has been instrumental in building up PB's wind business, despite the unpredictable wind market in Australia. His technical skills are among the best in the market. He was PB's 'go-to' guy on wind power and was consulted from asa far away as the USA and UK. As a leader he was inspirational, approachable and credible. His juniors received excellent training under Taraz and most stayed with the company a long time, moving up in rank as their capability grew. Taraz oversaw several innovations to our service offering that has made PB a leader in the wind power field. Taraz is calm under pressure, always finds the right words to say in client facing situation, and takes obstacles (sometimes internal ones) in his stride. He is liked and respected by both his staff and his peers and I cannot recommend him highly enough to prospective employers. He would be an asset to any organisation. Please don't hesitate to contact me for a verbal reference. Eric Wolters”
