2023 Women in Construction: Jessica Pfaff, Taylor the Builders

Jessica Pfaff
Junior Project Manager/Estimator
TAYLOR The Builders 

What was a pivotal point in your career? Being promoted from an administrative role to a project manager /estimator. I love what I do, even when I was in an administrative role. When I was promoted, I would say this was a pivotal point in my career for I went from taking direction to now providing direction. It was still a career I loved but a whole new way of thinking, so it seemed all new again. Definitely a point in my career in which made me grow as a person overall. 

What is your favorite building in New York? I appreciate all styles of architecture, however the one building in New York that captivated me above the rest is the St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan. For me, this building has such a grand presence when you see it in person. One of the few buildings that you get lost in the details and lose track of time standing to view this building. In my opinion, this will forever be a “wow” building.
