New Zealand-based engineering consultancy firm BVT Engineering Professional Services (BVT) and global technology consultancy firm Mint Management Technologies (Mint Group), have partnered to address the current shortage of engineers in New Zealand. BVT MD Matt Bishop states that New Zealand’s construction industry desperately needs tradespeople, engineers and builders to address industry demand. News website Stuff.co.nz has reiterated Bishop’s concerns this month, saying that the construction industry will require between 50 000 to 60 000 qualified tradespeople to satisfy expected industry growth and demand for the next five years. According to the website, local training institutes for tradespeople received only 11 500 applicants last year.
