Engineering Excellence Supported by Profession

Could you be the 2005 New Zealand Engineer of the year? Or has your team run the best engineering project? If you think so, time is running out to apply for the inaugural New Zealand Engineering Excellence Awards (NZEEA). A call for entries close Friday, 1 July 2005.

The awards have been initiated by New Zealand’s engineering profession to highlight the key roles engineers and their organisations play in addressing national goals through innovation, entrepreneurship and development of infrastructure that meets community needs.

The event is staged by a consortium of four partner organisations: Centre for Advanced Engineering (CAE), INGENIUM (Association of Local Government Engineering New Zealand Incorporated), Electricity Engineers’ Association of NZ (EEA) and the Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand (IPENZ). Contributing organisations include: New Zealand Water and Waste Association (NZWWA) and the IPENZ Foundation.

A black-tie awards dinner will be held at the Duxton Hotel in Wellington on 23 November 2005 to present the awards recognising people and activities at the pinnacle of engineering excellence.
