New appointments announced
6 April 2010.
Building and Construction Minister Maurice Williamson has announced the
appointment of Dr Robin Dunlop as the chair of the Engineering Associates
Registration Board.
"Dr Dunlop has a high level of understanding of governance principles
and has held a considerable number of senior board appointments,"
Mr Williamson says.
"He has demonstrated an ability to lead a board consisting mainly
of representatives of nominating associations with a diverse background."
Mr Williamson also announced that David Leask has been reappointed as
a member of the Engineering Associates Registration Board, after previously
serving on the Board as the Institute of Measurement and Control's representative
from 1992 to 2006.
The Engineering Associates Registration Board was established under the
Engineering Associates Act 1961. Its primary function is to consider the
competence of Engineering Technologists and approve or decline their applications
for registration.
Dr Dunlop replaces Ian Shearer, who resigned his position last year to
accept an employment offer overseas. Due to legislative requirements,
Dr Dunlop's initial term will be until September 2010.
Dr Robin Dunlop
 Dr
Dunlop was born in New Zealand and graduated from the University
of Canterbury with a Bachelor of Engineering with honours in 1968
and a PhD in Civil Engineering in 1972.
Dr Dunlop has been Chief Executive of Transit New Zealand and Secretary
for Transport. He has previously held a number of positions in New
Zealand Rail and Ministry of Works and Development, as well as working
for six months in the Transport and Road Research Laboratory in
Crowthorne, England. Dr Dunlop started his career with the New Zealand
Railways before moving to the Ministry of Works and Development.
Dr Dunlop has represented New Zealand at conferences both overseas
and in New Zealand. He has also consulted for the World Bank and
International Road Federation on roading agency structures and management.
Dr Dunlop has held a number of industry body positions: he is a
Fellow and past President of Logistics Transport In New Zealand;
past Chair of the National Board of the New Zealand Institute of
Management; a Fellow of the Institution of Professional Engineers
NZ. He is also a past President of the Road Engineering Association
of Asia and Australasia, and a former Chairman of Austroads. Dr
Dunlop currently serves on the Destination Wairarapa Tourism Board
and the St Lukes Parish Council. |
Legislative News
November 2007
The Engineering Associates Amendment Act 2007 came into force on 19
September 2007, and provides for the following changes to the original
Act:
- Section 4(2) the quorum for meetings of the board is reduced from
7 to 6.
- Section 11(1) has had the minimum ages removed from clauses (b)
and (c). The date in clause (a) remains unchanged.
- Section 11(5) providing for access to the register has been modified
from ordinary office hours to reasonable office hours.
Valuable Employment Related Qualifications Lost in the Fog
"It is very sad that valuable nationally and internationally recognised
employment related qualifications for the engineering industry have
been 'lost' in the mish-mash of new qualifications highlighted at the
launch of 'www.kiwiquals.govt.nz' " said Ian Shearer, Chairman
of the Engineering Associates Registration Board.
