Operational Workforce Gap

dc.description

To resource the SCIRT infrastructure rebuild programme, an additional 600 operational workers were needed.

To find these workers and to get them up to speed, SCIRT's HR and Training Teams developed a three-pronged tactical approach:

Off-job pre-employment training, using local training providers;
A targeted recruitment campaign, offering a clear benefit to get involved in the industry;
Creating a SCIRT Training Centre.

dc.title: Gap Filler Project 16: Playtime
dc.description: Playtime was an outdoor cinema and temporary architecture project on a vacant building site on St Asaph Street. It was the result of a competition created in association with Gap Filler and the New Zealand/France Friendship Fund. Members of the public were asked to design and build a 'gap' inspired by Jacques Tati's film "Play Time" (1967) for Gap Filler's outdoor film screenings of Tati's films in March 2012. Barnaby Bennett, Mark Leong and Nick Sargent won the competition with their group entry "The Night Club", a gap where the form of a cinema is suggested by lights and rebar sculptures rather than supporting materiality.

Women in Construction

dc.description

A SCIRT Women in Construction (SWIC) working group was established to raise the visibility of women working in operational roles.

Research commissioned in Canterbury in May 2013 found there was an untapped pool of women labour, of which half had not considered rebuild positions (such as civil construction) because they were seen as "jobs for men".

In response to this, a SCIRT Women in Construction (SWIC) working group was established to "Raise the visibility and enable women working in construction across the SCIRT programme."

In one year, the success of SWIC was such that it resulted in the doubling of women in crew roles at SCIRT - from 6% of the workforce in 2014 to 12% in 2015.

In 2016, with the support of the SCIRT board and the National Association for Women in Construction (NAWIC), SWIC approached industry organisations with the intention of exploring ways to maintain momentum despite SCIRT winding down.

In December 2016, a national working group was established under the banner of Civil Contractors New Zealand (CCNZ). It aimed: "To raise the visibility and enable women in civil contracting in New Zealand."

For additional information about SWIC's activities and successes, please see the attachments below.
