Robert Daniel elected Fellow of IPENZ
Friday, 26 March 2004

Robert Daniel, Manager Operations for the Westland District Council, has been elected a Fellow of The Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand (IPENZ) for his contribution to the application of engineering or technology in the community; specifically recognising his contribution to development of the West Coat region and its people.

Robert has been a tireless worker for the public good on the West Coast over more than two decades– through involvement in management of a number of critical natural hazard events balancing the risk with the economic need for people to live close to hazards, but also through his contribution to education. That Westland High School has produced a number of engineering graduates is testimony to the way in which he has carried his engineering ethos into his wide-ranging governance and other activities supporting education. He also has a strong commitment to heritage activities.

“Receiving a Fellowship carries substantial prestige. It is not a reward for long service or for advancement in seniority with one’s employer, rather it is recognition by IPENZ of the contribution of outstanding individuals,” said IPENZ Chief Executive, Andrew Cleland.

Robert was presented with his Fellowship at the IPENZ Awards Dinner held in Christchurch at the Hotel Grand Chancellor, on Thursday, 25 March 2004.
