The Special Interest Group for Immigrant Engineers (SIGIE) evolved from an Engineering New Zealand initiative to provide training courses for immigrant engineers in New Zealand.

SIGIE provides a strong network for immigrant engineers to meet new people and to share work opportunities. It provides professional development, employment and career counselling to support immigrant engineers to settle in to life and work in New Zealand.​

​The SIGIE committee is made up of 13 engineers from all stages in their career. They all volunteer their time to support and deliver great resources for their members.
