- - Shael Hand-Fromont
Originally from Whangarei, Shael gained a BSc (Geology) and PMEG (Engineering Geology) before joining the industry as a Geotechnical Engineer in 2015. Following project experience across NZ, including landslide remediation, large scale earthworks, and dam engineering, Shael completed an EngNZ Knowledge Assessment in 2024 to become eligible for CPEng. In March 2025, Shael successfully became a Chartered Professional Engineer (Geotechnical). He currently leads the Soil and Rock Consultants Northland branch as a Senior Geotechnical Engineer.
- - Aaron Parker
I am a senior civil engineer with 20+ years of consulting experience. Having started my career in Whangarei as a cadet, whilst studying at NorthTec, I completed the Diploma in Engineering (Civil). I have worked throughout Australasia working on all types of civil developments, and eventually found my way back to Whangarei. I was frustrated as a technician, with many years’ experience, that I could not sign off work. So I completed a BEngTech, the Eng NZ knowledge assessment, and went on to achieve CPEng.
