International Professional Engineer - IntPE

Overview

The IntPE(NZ) register meets the requirements of two international agreements - the APEC Engineer agreement (13 APEC Economies) and Engineers Mobility Forum agreement (13 countries), and lists professional engineers meeting the IntPE(NZ) competence standard and additional specific qualification and work experience requirements.  These are that registrants must hold a Washington Accord accredited qualification; have two years responsible engineering experience and seven years post-graduation professional engineering experience. IntPE(NZ) registrants must undertake on-going assessments at intervals not exceeding 5 years to remain on the register, hence IntPE(NZ) registrants are regarded as being ‘currently competent’.

Registration on the IntPE(NZ) register entitles the registrant to use 'IntPE(NZ)' as a post-nominal and call themselves an ‘APEC Engineer’.

IntPE(NZ) registrants are bound by the IntPE(NZ) Code of Ethical Conduct and are subject to IntPE(NZ) disciplinary procedures.  The brochure on IntPE(NZ) can be downloaded here.

Post nominals

Registrants on the International Professional Engineer register are able to use the ‘IntPE(NZ)’ postnominal.
