Recently updated to reflect current practice, this course will provide an overview of the use of producer statements both for Building Consent and for other regulatory purposes. It will also cover other building consent related issues including responsibilities and liabilities.

This course introduces the principles of urban stormwater treatment. Learn about a range of stormwater treatment practices and consider their advantages and disadvantages for different applications.

This course looks at factors attributing to the safe design, construction, use, maintenance and removal of temporary works. Useful to engineers and managers working in the construction sector, the course will cover New Zealand Law, industry good practice, procedural control, basic design theory, and awareness modules for each of the most common forms of temporary works. Please scroll down for more information.

Engineering New Zealand are pleased to collaborate with the Sustainability Society to deliver this interactive course which will introduce some of the foundational aspects of sustainability in the built environment and help engineers to understand what role sustainability plays in their particular context.

Much of the work done by engineers involves managing, reading and even drafting contracts. In this course we introduce the principles that regulate contractual relationships, with a focus on construction and engineering contracts.

This live online course covers the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, and will provide a sound grounding in HSWA duties and responsibilities. The course covers both general duties on PCBUs and upstream duties on those carrying out design, manufacture or importing.

This live online course will introduce the general concepts for retention systems for basement construction (e.g. sheet piles, secant piles, diaphragm wall, lateral support systems, etc.). This course is a slightly reduced version of the face-to-face course ‘Basements & ground retention systems’.

This live online course covers the structure of NZS 3910, procurement considerations, and explores the roles and responsibilities of the Engineer to the Contract, Engineer’s Representative, Principal and Contractor.

This live online course follows our introductory course and explores the practical applications of the role and responsibilities of the Engineer to the Contract and the Engineer’s Representative under NZS 3910:2013 Conditions of Contract for building and civil engineering works.

Risk is a universal phenomenon that affects all people in all activities that they may undertake. This course introduces a structured approach for the identification, planning, treatment and management of risk in an engineering context. Delegates will learn a structured approach to the risk management process.

The course will introduce the fundamental principles and some well-established methods of pile design and analysis of single piles and some of them can be applied without the use of complex computer software. The course content will cover the most relevant aspects of pile design for single piles (e.g. axial, lateral, down drag, rock sockets). We will also discuss some practical examples and case studies to demonstrate the ‘real world’ applications of the course content.

This course is designed to provide emerging consulting engineers and project managers with tools and strategies to successfully deal with difficult and unexpected situations on site. (please note there are face to face and online options)

Many practitioners who have to manage projects have never been formally exposed to a structured “big picture” of project management. This course aims to present a structured and coherent way of accepted best practice principles used to define, plan and execute projects.

Our new Producer Statements and supplementary documents will significantly improve quality assurance and administrative processes for engineers and BCAs. Online forms will allow for real-time updates, cross-population of fields and consistency across authorities – for better and faster consenting processes. Our documents are in draft and we want you feedback.

This course provides you with an introduction to NZS 3916:2013 Conditions of Contract for building and civil engineering works – Design and Construct (NZS3916). Useful for engineers, contractors and designers, this course will cover how you can use NZS-3916 to greatest effect. This is offered as a 4-hour live online course.

This online course covers the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA) and will provide a sound grounding in HSWA duties and responsibilities. The course covers both general duties on Persons Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBUs) and upstream duties on those carrying out design, manufacture or importing.

Specifications are critical to the clear communication of technical requirements to contractors. This communication is specific to the stage in the design cycle, type of requirement and the particular industry sector. Delegates will learn the elements of a “good” specification that is universally applicable.

People new to team leadership often focus on tasks and end-goals – but how do they develop into leaders that motivate and inspire their team to deliver those end-goals? This course provides people with space to look at the team leader role, examining leadership styles and the characteristics that are needed to lead teams to success.

A team leader who shares their workload within a team is more likely to be achieve success than someone who can’t delegate effectively – so how does this critical managerial skill work, and what are the best ways to do it? This course provides people with a range of practical tools they need to successfully delegate tasks, and delegation approaches to use to realise a team’s full potential.

An expectation of engineers is that they can negotiate with stakeholders to coordinate efforts. But how can you convince people with diverse goals and backgrounds to secure willing collaboration and achieve a great outcome? In this course we will consider ethical and practical ways that will improve your ability to influence stakeholders’ perceptions and to persuade them to take goal-directed initiatives.
