Joining the EEA gives members…

The opportunity to be engaged and to be part of a collective industry voice. The EEA represents its members on engineering, health and safety, asset management, standards and professional development issues to Government, regulators and professional bodies. Members can participate in setting technical and safety benchmarks by commenting draft EEA submissions, whilst the EEA promotes its members' views in a strong and single voice.

The EEA develops and maintain collective risk management rules and guidance in order to help members maintain appropriate technical and safety standards. The EEA is focused on excellence in industry performance and continually reviews, updates and educates industry on engineering and safety processes.

Access to a pool of information on key industry news and issues. The EEA is committed to keeping its members informed about key industry issues, including legislation changes, safety and asset management reports, statistics and trends, industry events, and many other topics.

An independent forum to exchange and debate the needs of the industry. The EEA organise regular events offering a platform for networking, professional development, information sharing and opinion gathering. The EEA Annual Conference is the main engineering event for the New Zealand power industry, but many other national and regional events give members the opportunity to raise their voice and exchange their views.

The EEA delivers professional development training to industry engineers using New Zealand and overseas consultancies and universities specialising in the power industry.
