CONSTRUCTION

Working in construction management was, by far, my most enjoyable work. I wasn't designing systems, but I was following the installation in the field. It was more satisfying to me to oversee the actual installation and functioning system in operation. Before I really got my feet wet in construction, I was concerned about being female in such a male-dominated field. The people that I worked with, however, were wonderful and I felt like "one of the guys" most of the time. If you ever have the opportunity to work for Swinerton & Walberg, do it. They were not the first construction management company I worked for, but they were by far the best.
