March is Women’s History Month, and it’s a great time to celebrate the women helping shape the future of our industry.
Across our teams, from technicians and engineers to project managers and leaders, women play an important role in the work we do every single day.
More women are discovering rewarding careers in construction, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and facility solutions while also making a lasting impact in the world.
Women in the Skilled Trades
For many years, careers in the trades were often viewed as male-only fields. Today, that perception is changing.
Women now make up about 11% of the U.S. construction workforce, and the number continues to grow as more explore skilled trade careers.
Across our teams, women are building careers as technicians, engineers, and project leaders. Their work helps keep homes comfortable, businesses operating, and facilities running smoothly.
These roles require technical expertise, problem-solving, and hands-on skills. They also offer something many people are looking for today: meaningful work and real opportunities for career growth.
As Haley Y., Field Operations Engineer for our Large Construction team, puts it:
“I would just say just do it. There’s a lot more women in construction now, and it’s been a great time.”
Her advice reflects what many women in the trades have discovered: once you step into the field, you find a career filled with learning, growth, and opportunity.
Growing Into Leadership
Women across our organization are also stepping into leadership roles. From project management to operations and strategy, their perspectives help strengthen how we serve our customers and support our teams.
Leadership here is built on a simple belief: when our people thrive, our company thrives.
Susan G., one of our Regional Coordinators, has seen that growth firsthand. She started as an administrative coordinator and worked her way into a leadership role supporting multiple accounts across Tennessee and Alabama.
“Sometimes change is good. Be flexible. Learn all you can. The only restraints you’re going to put are the ones you put on yourself.” — Susan G.
That mindset reflects what many women across our teams have discovered: with support, mentorship, and ongoing training, a career in the trades offers real opportunities to learn, grow, and build a lasting career.
Mentorship, Support, and Innovation
Behind every successful career is a strong support system.
Mentorship plays an important role across our teams. Experienced professionals share their knowledge, support new technicians, and help one another navigate challenges in the field. That collaborative environment encourages people to develop new skills, try new ideas, and continue growing.
The industry itself is evolving as well. The number of women working in construction has grown more than 45% since 2010, showing how quickly the workforce is changing.
Women across our teams are helping drive that change. They are contributing to innovation in construction technology, building systems, and facility management solutions that help us serve our customers thoughtfully and reliably.
A Career That Builds More Than Buildings
Choosing a career in the trades means building more than projects.
Our technicians help families stay comfortable in their homes. Our construction teams help create spaces where businesses grow and communities gather. Every role contributes to something meaningful.
That sense of purpose is one reason skilled trade careers continue attracting more women who want hands-on work, problem-solving opportunities, and long-term career growth.
