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.

Co-presented by an engineer and a lawyer, this course will consider both the law and its application as well as how to best avoid and manage those liabilities and maximise insurance benefits.

As Engineer to the Contract, you’re expected to make decisions that can have legal or financial consequences for several parties involved in your project, which is why it’s crucial that you have a strong understanding of the law and your role within it.

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.

In the course of your working day, you probably spend a few hours writing. Most of us write scores of emails a day. Many of us write longer reports. This live online course provides simple tips that can be immediately used to improve your writing.

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.
