Love seeing this discussion. I started as an admin and worked my way up to project manager after leaving the education world. It's not an easy industry to be in as a woman. There were some men who didn't want a plan from a woman and did what they could to throw me under the bus. But my numbers didn't lie. I had high profit margins on my jobs, largely due to really solid plans and communication with the field crews. It was fun and rewarding but I've since moved on to an adjacent field with better pay. Women in construction are vastly outnumbered and we have to prove ourselves so much more than men. But there's also a really strong community of them, and I support women owned firms as much as I can these days.
I traveled across the country with a woman electrician from NYC.
The trades are suffering, POC ( their instructor told them that most electricians are aging white men) should also try as most electricians are not and aging out. I sent both my sons to school for the first part of electrical training. I find it sad that they haven’t yet followed through with the apprentice stage.
Yes, it is so sad. There’s so much opportunity in the trades. And, unlike so many office jobs, they offer the chance to have a career where you can learn and grow for your entire career.
Had never thought about the difference in construction-site safety with women involved. It's immensely important - for cost control, workforce stability, etc. Altogether, a smart, interesting conversation. Thank you!
I am a female project manager and it’s painful watching my company hire more women in the field. They don’t want to do the work to train them so they can move up as operators rather than laborers

This was a great conversation and I can’t thank you enough for the opportunity to highlight women in the trades ♥️ and of course myself
