THE LEADING VOICE FOR WOMEN IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY


We are a voluntary, non-profit association of women who work either in the construction industry or for business organisations who provide services to the construction industry.


The number of women in the construction industry has grown exponentially in recent years and women are hard at work in just about every construction job. This growth has prompted the establishment and success of NAWIC in Aotearoa/New Zealand.


NAWIC was founded in Texas in 1952 by a group of 16 women. Since then it has grown to an  international organisation. Today it is going strong in the USA, UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Aotearoa/New Zealand, and most recently in Qatar.


NAWIC New Zealand has been active in Wellington since 1996, and has chapters in Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland, Waikato, Te Moana-a-Toitehuatahi/Bay of Plenty, Manawatū, Wairarapa, Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington, Waitaha/Canterbury, Tāhuna/Queenstown Lakes, Ōtākou/Otago


We welcome new members from around NZ to find out more please click here


Our membership base is diverse and includes the following professions; quantity surveyors, project managers, suppliers, planners, designers, architects, engineers, tradespeople, students, apprentices, health and safety managers and lawyers to name just a few!


NAWIC encourages women to pursue, establish and sustain successful careers in the construction industry. Our vision is to be the leading voice for women in this sector.


We hold regular events, with a focus on both technical and professional development, to inform and up-skill women in construction and to promote networking and information sharing for the betterment of the construction industry as a whole. These events are held in person and online with a variety of topics.


We also run the NAWIC Excellence Awards annually. To see more about the awards click here.
