Career Options
Civil Engineering Technician
Studying the NZ Diploma Engineering (Civil) at Te Pūkenga has allowed me the option to blend in-person classes on campus with WITT, alongside block courses and supported distance learning with NZIHT, as I navigate part-time study and full-time work. I am fortunate enough to be able to earn and learn, bringing class-taught theoretical concepts to the real world as an Engineering Field Assistant. Changing careers in my 30s was daunting, and after my first maths class in 16 years, I wasn't sure I was cut out for study again; but the team of staff and tutors at Te Pūkenga, along with fellow engineering students, have been excellent at providing the support and guidance needed for me to succeed.
