Beca's Bay of Plenty regional manager Gavin Frost said this was a "fabulous achievement", describing Denize as someone with "an outstanding focus on his clients across Bay of Plenty and internationally".
"I see him in action every day. It's his integrity that leads the way and clients know they can rely on him to listen to them and deliver the best solution as cost-effectively as possible."
Denize said he was "absolutely blown away" when he won his category.
"There was such stiff competition from international engineering consultancies across Australia and New Zealand in this research. I don't know which clients nominated me but I'd like to thank every one of them very much," he said.
Outside of work, Hamish has an avocado farm with 15 steers, which he runs with the help of his two children, Angus, 9, and Maggie, 11.
