Spanning engineering, trades, estimating and leadership, these stories reveal how women are growing, pivoting and succeeding at PCL.

The paths people take to grow their careers at PCL Construction are as diverse as their specialties. Women are building fulfilling careers at PCL as project coordinators, superintendents and estimators, drawing on experience from fields as varied as engineering, technology and the arts. It’s a testament to how much individuals can achieve when they have access to opportunity, community, and a workplace that invests in them.
