Women In Construction Week | 2022

Did you know that women made up 10.9% of the industry in 2020 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Catalyst? The National Association of Women in Construction aims to celebrate, educate, and promote the role of women in the construction industry! The focus during the 2022 Women in Construction Week (WIC Week) was #envisionequity. After the organization’s founding in 1953, its core purpose remains: strengthen and amplify the success of women in the construction industry. Learn more below here: https://www.nawic.org/.

Making an Impact in Construction

We are proud to have women in almost every department at JBC, including in upper management, marketing, project management, estimating, human resources, accounting, business development, and administrative roles. For WIC Week 2022, we asked women at JBC to share their favorite empowerment quote, or what they find exciting about working in the construction industry. Check out their answers below!

What do you find exciting about working in the construction industry?
“As Controller, it’s easy to get bogged down by the financials of projects without noticing the progress that’s happening onsite. Seeing the before and after photos once complete makes all the hard work worth it.” – Jenn, Controller
–
“I like how each day is a new challenge.  No day is ever the same.” – Julie, Assistant Project Manager
–

“I enjoy finding new ways to showcase the work that JBC completes and learning about the impact JBC’s projects make. Understanding the ‘why’ behind our work puts each project’s purpose in a new light!” – Sarah, Marketing Coordinator

Share your favorite empowerment quote.

“My favorite quote/poem is from Marianne Williamson: ‘Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It’s not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.’” – Heather, Senior Vice President

Thank you to all of the women who support JBC’s mission to work harder and build smarter! We appreciate ALL that you do!
