A CPEng (Chartered Professional Engineer) is a professional engineer whom engineering New Zealand (the registration authority) registered. 

To apply for registration, an engineer has to undergo and complete an assessment in which they need to show that they can cope with complex engineering issues requiring expert knowledge. Charter ship needs an engineer to show competency in a New Zealand context and is reassessed at least every 6 years. 

The Chartered Professional Engineers of New Zealand Act (CPEng Act) was enacted on 1 July 2002 and set up Engineering New Zealand as the registering body to evaluate and then register those capable of being Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng).
