Encourage women making a difference in construction to enter the 2018 Hays NAWIC Excellence Awards before entries and nominations close on Monday 28th May. Submit your entry or nomination by 9pm on Monday 28th May to be in with a chance of winning an award.

The awards celebrate the achievements of women in construction as well as honouring those organisations which are redressing the industry’s gender imbalance. The fourth annual Hays NAWIC Excellence Awards will be held on Friday 17th August at the Auckland Town Hall.

Employers and managers are encouraged to submit nominations on behalf of their staff. The awards have six categories which cover a wide range of roles across the industry. The categories are:

The Helen Tippett Award which celebrates achievement in advancing the interests of women in the construction industry.
Tradeswoman of the Year which celebrates the contribution tradeswomen are making to the industry.

Professional Woman of the Year which focuses on women who have managed a construction project or those who operate their own business in the industry.

Rising Star which celebrates women who demonstrate future leadership potential within the industry. This category is open to women who have worked in the construction industry for less than seven years.

Outstanding Achievement in Design which celebrates the design aspect of a construction project in engineering, architecture or urban/landscape design.

Excellence in Construction Services which honours the contribution of women in administration, sales/marketing or operational roles within the industry.

Student/Apprentice Excellence Award which is open to all women engaged in construction-related study or apprenticeships.

A new record number of nominations has been reached 

By Jen Tyson • 20 Mar, 2024
Now that nominations for our 2024 awards have officially closed, we would like to take a moment to express our gratitude and appreciation for all those who have taken the time to put a nomination in for themselves or someone else. We have reached a new record number with 242 submissions, this number has doubled in the last 3 years and the calibre of nominations remains high.

Lets talk about periods.

By Jen Tyson • 27 Feb, 2024
In 2024 this should not be a challenge that women in construction still need to face at any level. As an advocate for women in trades, women's health, periods and mental health, I have been sharing some of what I have observed and experienced onsite throughout my 6 years in construction. I do this in the hopes that the industry will improve and become more inclusive for future generations of anyone who chooses to work in the industry.

Encouragement from some amazing Wāhine toa - 2024 Awards buzz

In the spirit of providing some additional encouragement, we reached out to some of our amazing finalists and winners from last year to ask them a few questions about what it meant to them to be nominated, become a finalist and what they would say to others to encourage them to put themselves or someone else forward. Thanks to all those who opted to share and be part of the cheering squad for this years nominees.
