What drew you to the construction industry? I began my career in the construction industry because of my dad. When I was a kid, he would take us to his jobsites during construction and then after to see the finished projects. It was fascinating to see how things were built and to learn the amount of people that are needed from a concept stage to final delivery. I started in the heavy highway and water divisions. Within a few years, an opportunity opened up in healthcare construction. Healthcare has a different impact, and I can say now that I have had healthcare projects that have had a personal connection to my life, and I know the work I am a ; Bottom has Equinox HIT logo Text: Celebrating WIC Week 2026; and NAWIC.ORG-WICWEEK.ORG Silhouette of a city skyline with cranes, people, and text: Level Up Build Strong Communities | Careers | Futures in bold black and red.

Picture of Cheryl Steiner Preconstruction Services at Encore Electric Q: What drew you to the construction industry? A: I grew up building and fixing things with my dad so building and fixing things on a larger scale felt natural. I am also a very curious person, and I enjoy learning about anything and everything. The construction industry is a great place for someone like me because there is always something new or more to learn, and I get the right mix of analytical work and hands-on experience. I enjoy solving problems, working on teams, and helping bring dreams to life.
Picture of Cheryl Steiner Preconstruction Services at Encore Electric Q: What is your favorite thing about the industry? A: My favorite thing about the industry is the willingness folks have to collaborate and solve problems. Today’s projects are too large and complex for one person to have all the answers so it’s great to be part of such knowledgeable and capable teams where we bring to life the seemingly impossible.
Picture of Cheryl Steiner Preconstruction Services at Encore Electric Q: What would you say is a great first step for women looking into the construction field? A: A great first step for women looking to get into the construction field is to attend local career fairs and networking events put on by local contractors and/or schools. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. There are so many people in the industry who are delighted to help others find the path that’s right for them!

Picture of Holly Enrico Sr. Project Manager of Finance Loma Linda University Health Q: What drew you to the construction industry? A: My degree is in Education, but after graduating and moving back to California, I decided to pursue a career in healthcare. While taking prerequisites for PA school, I worked as a temp at Loma Linda University Medical Center. I was asked to help with a major financial audit in the Construction Management Department, and that’s when I discovered my passion for the field. What started as a temporary role turned into a 16-year career that I love.
Picture of Holly Enrico Sr. Project Manager of Finance Loma Linda University Health Q:What is your favorite thing about the industry? A: My favorite thing about the healthcare construction industry is the extensive collaboration and teamwork required to successfully complete a project. It’s incredible to see how people with such diverse talents and personalities come together to make something happen. From architects and engineers to tradespeople and project managers, everyone plays a crucial role in bringing a vision to life. The mix of skills, ideas, and perspectives creates a dynamic environment that keeps things interesting, and there’s a real sense of satisfaction in working together to achieve a common goal. What makes it even more rewarding is knowing that the end product helps heal and save lives. That impact is truly amazing and what makes the work so meaningful.
Picture of Holly Enrico Sr. Project Manager of Finance Loma Linda University Health Q: What would you say is a great first step for women looking into the construction field? A: Construction offers more than just physical labor. There are roles like project manager, finance manager, estimator, architect, engineer, and skilled trades (carpenter, electrician, plumber). Take the time to learn about these options and see what excites you. There are plenty of ways for women to thrive in this field. Shadowing someone in the field is a great way to understand the job up close. It’ll help you get a feel for the daily work and show you the many opportunities available for women in construction. Plus, it’s a chance to build your network and find mentors. Don’t be afraid to highlight what you’re good at—whether it’s problem-solving, organization, or communication. The industry needs different perspectives, and your skills can make a big impact. Embrace your strengths and confidently make your mark in the field.

Picture of Jacquelyn Tompkins Q: What drew you to the construction industry? A: I met a mechanical engineer and professor in the Architectural Engineering department at my University that was very passionate about what she did and how her designs in HVAC can have a large impact on reducing energy consumption in the built environments we need to help our society thrive. It was her influence and mentorship that helped me see a pathway for a career in construction possible.
Picture of Jacquelyn Tompkins Q: What is your favorite thing about the industry? A: Each role within the construction industry is unique and critical for producing a quality and cohesive built environment for end users. I enjoy collaborating and learning from other people’s experiences on projects and building relationships and trust with other team members.
Picture of Jacquelyn Tompkins Q: What would you say is a great first step for women looking into the construction field? A: Find a community where you can have mentorship, networking, and education. In college I was heavily involved in Society of Women in Engineering. Now in my career I am involved in Women in Healthcare Denver Chapter through mentorship and on the events committee. These groups have helped me become the engineer that I am today and have encouraged me to give back and support the generation of women in the industry.
