A student engineer who posed as a structural expert for years, signing off on 30 earthquake assessments on buildings, even though she did not even have a degree, has been censured by Engineering New Zealand.
The industry disciplinary committee says Prajna Singh's deceit was "alarming".
Her deceit included using a chartered professional engineer's registration number without their knowledge and two unidentified firms she worked for since 2015 in Auckland believed she was qualified.
She has already been convicted in court on 38 dishonesty charges.
Engineering New Zealand chief executive Richard Templer spoke to Corin Dann.
