Guest Lecture

Join us for an engaging session about how engineering projects are being run in the USA, from the viewpoint of a sixth-generation Kiwi who's helping lead the industry in that country. This will be a short overview of leading-edge behaviours that result in increased profit, higher client satisfaction and more sustainable growth. The event will be of particular interest to anyone working in or studying engineering, architecture or construction.
