EA Event (Webinar) – Chief Engineers Panel – Roles, Responsibilities and Challenges for Chief Engineers in an Asset Intensive Organisation

November 26, 2020 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm UTC+10

What are the Roles, Responsibilities and Challenges for the Chief Engineers and their team?

Engineers play a vital role in the Australian community by influencing and improving everyday life. Millions of people entrust their health, personal safety, security and day-to-day needs to the products and services these engineers are responsible to develop, maintain and sustain. It is a role of great responsibility, accountability and moral obligation, and one we as Engineers need to support. The role is especially crucial for Asset Intensive Organisations and Organisations operating & maintaining Critical Infrastructure.

As more and more of these organisations realise the importance and the demand for engineering governance, there are more organisations establishing the Chief Engineer role.
