Even though this is in PD, I'm going for a genuine answer
If you are considering making a move, you should come over on a holiday, and hire a bike, and see what you think. Have a look at some of the ride reports here and browse around to see what the riding is like in NZ.
NZ has a bit of a skills shortage at the moment, engineering shouldn't be a difficult field to get into. If you get a 2 year work visa (or whatever it is), it can be upgraded to permanent residency if you decide to stay (a few hoops to jump through and forms to fill out).
