We had a fantastic evening at the ACE Awards Gala, celebrating excellence across New Zealand's consulting engineering industry.

We're incredibly proud to have been named finalists in both the Ace of Medium Business and Ace of Sustainability categories.

These awards recognise consulting engineering businesses that create meaningful value for clients and communities, advance the profession, and contribute to a more sustainable future. Being recognised in both categories is a tremendous honour and reflects the breadth of our contribution as a business.

This recognition speaks to the strength of PFC today and the foundations built over nearly nine decades. Throughout our history, we've combined technical expertise with practical thinking, embraced innovation, and helped deliver outcomes that stand the test of time. We're proud of the impact we've made, the relationships we've built, and the contribution we've continued to make to our clients, communities, and profession.

Today we’re celebrating a special milestone, with Matt Castle reaching 10 years at Powell Fenwick.

Since joining PFC, Matt has spent time in our Mechanical, Hydraulic and Civil teams, bringing his knowledge and skills to a variety of roles across the business. His hard work, technical expertise and adaptability have made him a valued member of the team. Those same qualities are just as evident on social sports teams, where Matt is a regular fixture and a great team player.

Matt, congratulations on reaching this milestone. Thank you for everything you've contributed over the past 10 years, and here's to many more.

As part of our ongoing sponsorship of the UC Women in Engineering programme, we were pleased to welcome this year’s mentees to our Christchurch office last week. The visit gave them the opportunity to learn about different engineering disciplines, hear from our team, and experience what a career at Powell Fenwick can look like.

Earlier in the month, we also hosted a wider Women in Engineering group to tour our office, giving even more students the chance to connect with our engineers and learn about the different pathways available within the profession.

We're proud to play a part in helping future engineers build connections and explore their future career paths.

Engineering knowledge, teamwork and a healthy dose of competition were on display last week at our annual Design/Build challenge.

Armed with the same materials and just one hour on the clock, teams designed and built functioning trebuchets before putting them to the test.

Congratulations to Sam Seatter, Cameron Steffart and Phil Paterson, whose design launched a golf ball over 30m and earned them this year's title!

It's exciting to see the transformation taking shape at Skyline Queenstown. Earlier this year marked the opening of the new top terminal extension, and now Stage 5 is underway. This phase includes deconstruction of the original top terminal before construction begins on its replacement, which will be integrated with the extension to create a seamless visitor experience.

After Stage 1 – 3 of the redevelopment being awarded Gold at this year’s Commercial Project Awards we’re excited to see the final stage progress. Our involvement across the project has included contributions from our Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Hydraulic and Structural teams.
