Celebrating Jay Lauten

BPC Health & Safety Manager Jay Lauten has embedded best-practice safety protocols in high-compliance construction environments for 25 years. He’s brought his passion for building a strong safety culture to airfields, tunnelling, and major civil infrastructure projects, developing initiatives and implementing changes that have driven significant performance improvements.

Area Health & Safety Manager Natalie Griffiths says Jay has made a lasting contribution across some of New Zealand’s most complex infrastructure projects, from the Waterview Connection to the fast-paced delivery of the Waikato 50 project during Auckland’s drought response. “Jay’s current contribution at Auckland Airport has been equally significant, building strong relationships and helping establish a trusted partnership,” Natalie says. “While all this experience speaks for itself, it's Jay’s ability to inspire, motivate, and genuinely connect with people that sets him apart.”
