Further chapters will continue to be established where there is interest from outside these regions. Opportunities are currently being investigated in the Northland/Far North and Hawkes Bay regions.
Our membership ranges across the spectrum of construction roles; from site based and office based roles, from professionals to tradeswomen, eg. quantity surveyors, project managers, suppliers, planners, architects, engineers, tradespeople, students, apprentices, health & safety managers, traffic management and lawyers to name just a few!
NAWIC encourages women to pursue, establish and sustain successful careers in the construction and infrastructure sectors.
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 sector as a whole. These events are held in person and online covering a wide variety of topics.
