Young Professionals Ball 2025
Hosted by GHD and proudly supported by Downer, Hawkins, MTL, Spartan Construction, Aurecon, Precinct Properties, ACE NZ, Engineering NZ, CC NZ and the Young Energy Professionals Network.
Step into spring in style at the innaugural Young Professionals Ball; a dazzling evening of celebration, connection, and community. Held at the Maritime Room in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, this ball is your chance to dress to impress, mingle with fellow young professionals across engineering, infrastructure, and consulting sectors, while supporting STEM education in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Expect an evening filled with music, drinks, canapés and photo worthy moments, all set against the backdrop of Auckland’s waterfront.
This year, we’re proud to support The Wonder Project, a not-for-profit initiative by Engineering New Zealand that inspires school-aged children to explore careers in science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM).
