Do you know which fields of engineering require Engineering Registration in NSW from 1 July 2021?
 

Do you know or have questions about the potential implications for design and construction?
 

Will needing to be registered affect your work?
 

Do you want to become registered and don’t know how?
 

The Design and Building Practitioners Act forms part of the NSW Government’s response to the Shergold Weir Report which focused on the shortcomings in the implementation of the National Construction Code following concerns raised nationally about building defects and related issues. Regulations for the Act have been released. Join us to hear what the Act and Regulations mean for you as an engineer and what you need to do now and in the future to ensure you meet statutory requirements.
 

Registration laws will initially apply to professional engineers in the five fields of civil, structural, electrical, mechanical and fire safety engineering. Additional areas of engineering may be added via Regulation. The laws will apply to anyone wishing to provide professional engineering services, unless if doing so under the direct supervision of an appropriately registered engineer, or if the work is only provided in accordance with a document that states the procedure or criteria for carrying out the work and the work does not require the application of advanced scientifically based calculations.
 

This webinar is relevant to all NSW-based engineers and those from interstate working on projects in NSW.
 

Greg Ewing
 

General Manager Sydney, Engineers Australia.
 

In this role, Greg is responsible for the Sydney regional operations of the peak body for engineering practitioners in Australia. Greg served EA’s Northern Division as the General Manager from November 2013, prior to his appointment in Sydney, covering Sydney and Canberra.
 

Before moving to Australia in 2013, Greg was employed by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (The IET) as Regional Development Manager for Scotland, Northern Ireland and Cumbria. The role was as wide, varied and interesting as engineering itself. Most of Greg’s professional career was with the Scottish Government.
