Zinzan Hodgson

Senior Asset Integrity Inspector
NZCert Mech Eng (Adv) L5, ACA/ACRA Corrosion & Protection of Concrete Structures & Buildings, AMPP Senior Coatings Inspector (NACE Level 3)

Zinzan started his career at one of NZ’s most complex industrial sites - the Marsden Point refinery - where he led inspection, maintenance and construction projects in high-risk environments. That hands-on experience, paired with his collaborative and pragmatic style, makes him a trusted voice on industrial asset condition and repair.

Practical and grounded, Zinzan is great at helping clients understand their assets and the maintenance they need. Since joining GRIT, he’s expanded his knowledge in durability, civil and structural engineering, and project management - always with a focus on delivering better value for clients.

He thrives on solving problems and building strong relationships, and values GRIT’s open exchange of ideas and shared drive to keep improving.

Off the clock, you’ll find him camping and hiking with his partner and four kids, or diving and spearfishing.
