 NZTEA Engineering Field Trips – Learn from New Zealand’s Landmark Projects

Get Hands-On Insight into Major Infrastructure and Engineering Projects

At NZTEA, we believe the best way to build professional knowledge is by stepping into real-world environments. That’s why we organize annual engineering field trips for our members to explore complex infrastructure projects, engage with experts, and understand the practical application of engineering principles.

These excursions provide first-hand exposure to New Zealand’s most iconic construction and infrastructure developments.
