We talk with Roimata Maihi - Foreman for Hawkins on the Fu Wah Park Hyatt

We had a chat with one of the leaders in the construction of Wynyard Quarter’s newest five star hotel on the Waterfront (and also the first Park Hyatt Hotel in New Zealand), Roimata Maihi.

”I’m all about respecting our subcontractors, because they are the workers at the end of the day - we’re only the managers. Without them we’re not going to deliver the project for the client. With everybody - whether it’s the client or consultant, subcontractor or the gate man - everyone is unique so for me it’s adapting to try and bring the best out of someone else.”

We talk with Roimata Maihi – Foreman for Hawkins on the Fu Wah Park Hyatt site Roimata is responsible delivering Level 2, L1 to L7 Central Core and Atrium Vertical Fin Risers on the Park Hyatt Hotel in Wynyard Quarter.
