Construction Careers for Women
We’ve all seen construction sites firsthand in our daily lives over the years, whether passing by in our vehicles or on foot, or maybe even when arranging our own homebuilding or renovation projects. We may not pay much attention to the skilled tradespeople on hand doing the hard labour, whether it’s loading and unloading tools and equipment, assembling scaffolding, assisting contractors, or mixing, pouring and levelling concrete. We may not know everything that construction workers do, but we probably have a pretty clear mental image of what they look like – and that picture doesn’t typically include women.

FCI Constructors & Anderson Mason Dale Architects

Plant Construction
Back in 1947, the future was finally looking bright for the United States. World War II was over, and the nation was eager to get back to business. Employment was high, especially among the civilian labor force. Following years of wartime rationing, where staples like gasoline, milk, butter, and even soap were limited, Americans were eager to spend on big ticket items, from appliances to cars and houses. It was at this time the Plant Construction Company was formed.
