The irony of losing track of time, standing in front of a giant clock...

Member Connect's in-person events wrapped up last week with a trip to Waikato, Northland and Auckland. CE Richard Templer, Engineering Practice Manager Martin Pratchett and Deputy President Keryn Kliskey took the time in between a packed agenda to appreciate the engineering behind the rolling ball clock in Whangārei – 15 minutes, to be precise.

Engineers from across the upper North Island showed up in numbers to cover the issues that matter to them and to connect with likeminded peers, hearing from at least 5 speakers at each event. The end of the third road trip doesn't mean the end of Member Connect for this year though. Join online at noon on Thursday 10 September for the final Member Connect for 2026. Stay up to date with your profession and tell us about engineering from your perspective.

Defining the problem is key to Auckland’s second harbour crossing.

While the announcement of another business case will understandably be frustrating for many, it’s far more important to ensure we make the right decision not just a quick one.

A rigorous business case process will ensure decisions are grounded in evidence and made through a long-term planning lens, which is crucial if engineers, planners and the construction sector are to deliver on what is asked of them.

The renewed focus on Auckland’s second harbour crossing has reignited a decades-long debate, but one encouraging aspect of the Government’s latest announcement is the emphasis on undertaking a Detailed Business Case and securing long-term, cross-government agreement before locking in a solution.

This week, Pathways to New Zealand was pleased to present at Engineering New Zealand's Mid-Career Engineer Catch-Up Webinar. The session, delivered by Pathways advisers, Tim Howard and Charlotte Summers, focused on New Zealand's current residence pathways for engineers and the forthcoming immigration policy changes, several of which, will enable engineers to obtain New Zealand residence more quickly.

We thank Engineering New Zealand Te Ao Rangahau for the opportunity to engage with its members and contribute to informed discussions on engineering careers and migration pathways.
