Hosted by Jamie Summers — Project Director at The Building Intelligence Group in Tāmaki Auckland, Chair of the Institute’s Northern Region Committee, and a Stroke Survivor championing the Health-15 initiative with the Stroke Foundation — this episode features two standout guests: Derek Jannings, General Manager Digital, Infrastructure at KiwiRail, and Kierran Tuhi, Project Manager at Savory Construction and winner of the Under $10 Million Project Award at the 2024 Building People Awards.
The conversation explores:
• How their careers first took shape
• Derek’s rapid rise through digital leadership at Beca and KiwiRail
• Kierran’s award-winning approach and his “back yourself” mindset
• Defining choices, turning points, and influential people
• Projects that challenged them — and the ones that shaped them
• Areas they are curious to explore next in construction
• Their best advice for others navigating their own career journeys
An inspiring, grounded kōrero filled with lived experience, practical insight, and stories that shape the built environment.
Ngā mihi nui to Derek and Kierran for sharing their journeys with the Building Institute Aotearoa.
