Dempsey Wood Civil

Bright smiles & pink shirts all around! We had all shades of blush, fuchsia, coral & rose turn out for our Pink Shirt Day Kōrero & morning tea today. Our team are standing together to promote getting to know each other, celebrating our differences, taking a kindness-first approach & building on our inclusive culture. #PinkShirtDay #KindnessFirst #InclusiveTeam #DempseyWood 

On Monday night we hosted an information and interview session for candidates interested in joining our traffic team. We had a strong turnout and we're looking forward to welcoming some new faces to our team of traffic controllers in the near future! #DempseyWood #TTM #WorkingTogetherOnTomorrow

Our team's ingenuity was on full display recently. Faced with unstable ground that prevented the use of a crane, our team improvised by getting a purpose-made lifting attachment made for this 67-tonne digger. With this solution, they are meticulously installing sections of a 4x4m box culvert. It's moments like these that remind us of the incredible talent and dedication of our team. #DempseyWood #TeamWork #WorkingTogetheronTomorrow #CivilConstruction

Celebrating Women in Construction Week! Meet Vee, an incredible Dempsey Wood team member based at the LEAD Alliance. Starting from the ground up, Vee's journey in civil construction has been nothing short of inspiring. From Labourer to Leading Hand, and now a Foreman, she's tackled challenges head-on and continues to grow every day. Vee's dedication hasn't gone unnoticed. She's earned accolades like the Woman in Construction award on site and even represented us in Wellington for a 'Women in Trades' video. Her journey showcases the endless possibilities for women in our industry. When asked what she enjoys most about her role, Vee emphasises the continuous learning and the opportunity to see things from different perspectives. From planning and programming to working with a great team, every day brings new insights and accomplishments. What advice does Vee have for women aspiring to join the construction field? "Come and join us! You never know, this might just be right up your ally! You could have some great experiences and learn something different. It’s not for everyone but you will get those who are just born to be in this industry and if you don’t try it, then you won’t know." #WomenInConstruction #DempseyWood #BuildingTheFuture

Celebrating Women in Construction Week! Meet Amala, one of our incredible team members here at Dempsey Wood! Since joining us in 2021, Amala has been a driving force in our projects, transitioning from a Jr Quality Engineer to a Site Engineer with determination. At Dempsey Wood, Amala has soaked up knowledge like a sponge, learning everything from safety protocols to site testing, all while mastering the art of communication with diverse teams.
