Appointments to provide assistance will be made amongst panel members on a case by case basis, based on skills, expertise and availability.Panel members need to have a comprehensive understanding of the application of the Building Act 2004 and the Building Code to large dams. They must have sufficient resources to ensure that assistance can be provided in a timeframe that enables ECan to meet statutory requirements specified under the Building Act, as well as carrying out hold point inspections as needed during the construction phase in a timely way.ECan is seeking to appoint three panel members for an initial three-year period, with the possibility that this will be extended to five years.
