Women in Construction Week

This is an opportunity to express our gratitude and admiration for the incredible women at JE Dunn and in our industry.

This week we celebrate Women in Construction Week – an opportunity to express our gratitude and admiration for the incredible women at JE Dunn and in our industry. These women bring their skills, perspectives, and experiences to the table and I’m excited to recognize them. They are leaders, mentors, and role models for all of us.

I have seen over the years that there is no limit to what we can achieve at JE Dunn, and those achievements can sometimes come with unique experiences for women. I’m amazed by the strong women on our teams, inspiring others and making a positive impact on our projects and in our communities.

To the women in construction we are celebrating this week – both at JE Dunn and those we have the honor to partner with – I am so proud to work with you, learn from you, and support you. I hope you feel the respect and recognition you deserve and know how much we appreciate the work you do. Let’s continue working together to make construction a diverse, inclusive, and rewarding career for all.
