Asia Pacific engineering consultancy Aurecon has announced the appointment of Josie FitzGerald, Communities & Place Market Leader, to the Board of ACE New Zealand (Association of Consulting and Engineering New Zealand).
FitzGerald brings more than 30 years of governance, commercial and industry leadership experience to the Board. She works alongside Aurecon’s New Zealand Market and Client Leaders to support growth opportunities across the sector, including defence, social infrastructure and local government.
Josie FitzGerald is a Chartered Member of the Institute of Directors, a director of the Urban Development Institute of New Zealand. She has previously chaired The Diversity Agenda Steering Committee and the New Zealand Defence Industry Association.
FitzGerald said the consulting and engineering sector is facing a period of unprecedented change, creating significant opportunities for organisations.
“Artificial intelligence, automation, digital delivery, climate adaptation, changing client expectations, workforce shortages and new delivery models are reshaping how value is created,” FitzGerald said.
“These changes present enormous opportunities, but only if we are prepared to adapt and lead. ACE has an important role in helping member organisations respond to these changes, including supporting capability development, sharing emerging insights, fostering innovation and advocating for policies that enable our sector to thrive.”
FitzGerald said she also wants to see ACE strengthen its advocacy between government, clients and industry partners. This includes ensuring consulting engineering is recognised as a critical contributor to New Zealand’s economic, environmental and social wellbeing, while investing in the next generation of diverse talent entering the profession.
