Growing Great Engineers

MESNZ Excellence Awards

A core MESNZ mission is to “grow great engineers” and thus we strive to promote industry best practice in all that we do. To this end, in 2022 we introduced four new MESNZ Excellence Awards, to be presented annually at the MESNZ Conference Dinner. Following the success of the inaugural 2022 Awards, all sponsors have renewed their support for 2024. The 2024 MESNZ Excellence Awards will be as follows:
