Welcome to the Wellington Branch of IPENZ

IPENZ (The Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand) is the body which represents more than 9000 professional engineers, from a range of disciplines. 

The Wellington Branch has over 1400 Members in Wellington and Wairarapa.

In November each year the Annual General Meeting is held and a Branch Committee is elected to run the Branch for the next 12 months.  The Committee members organise a programme of monthly meetings which include:  presentations by local and visiting speakers; site visits; the annual Pickering Lecture; and the President’s Visit.  These events provide opportunities for Members to meet socially and to network.

Younger Members, now re-named the engeneration,are active in organising events both for themselves and for the wider membership.

The Branch is also active in Futureintech, an IPENZ initiative funded by Government to promote careers in technology, engineering and science.  Graduates are recruited by Futureintech Facilitators to work alongside students, their teachers and careers advisers to support curriculum activity and provide first-hand examples of a career in technology, engineering or science.

The Branch seeks to raise awareness of engineering issues in the wider community and collaborates with other organisations such as ICE and IET, with technical groups and with Victoria University as opportunities arise.
