RoofersCoffeeShop® welcomes New Zealand Women in Roofing (NZWiR)

NZWiR is an independent organization empowering women in the roofing industry to reach the next level of excellence.  

RoofersCoffeeShop®, the place where the industry meets for technology, information and everyday business, is pleased to welcome New Zealand Women in Roofing (NZWiR). 

Incorporated in 2019, NWZiR is a volunteer-based organization focused on supporting the careers of women in the roofing industry. Their work is based in creating spaces for women in the industry, whether they are in the office or on the roof. Overall, they are guided by their key pillars, which are: 

• Education - Create high-quality learning programs and experiences for men and women to build successful businesses and careers in roofing. 
• Mentoring - Mentor and empower women in the roofing industry to achieve excellence in their chosen careers 
• Networking - Provide opportunities to inter-act with women in the roofing industry, creating strong, long-lasting and supportive networks. 
• Recruiting - Reach beyond traditional recruitment strategies to attract and hire women who will bring diverse backgrounds, talents and experiences to the roofing industry. 

They encourage people of all genders to join in order to grow and strengthen the roofing industry in general in New Zealand. By connecting their community and raising up voices, NWZiR is raising the bar for professionalism and pushing the entire industry forward.  

NWZiR is also celebrating the industry and how far it has come! They host a nomination-based scholarship called the Ranz Scholarship that celebrates a woman working in the roofing industry. The recipients get to attend the Roofing Association of New Zealand (RANZ) conference to further their experience and knowledge in the field. 

Membership is open to women who want to join a community of energized women in the industry and men who support their goals. Becoming a member gives access to the events and programs that NWZiR runs to support their pillars. A member can access special learning opportunities, mentoring from industry leaders and seasoned professionals, networking sessions and recruitment channels.  

RoofersCoffeeShop is proud to welcome New Zealand Women in Roofing (NZWiR)!
