2022 Women in Construction: Tracey Hunter, EW Howell
Name: Tracey Hunter
Title: Assistant Project Manager
Company Name: EW Howell
Why should women consider a career in construction?
I believe that a woman’s career should not be determined by old-fashioned gender roles. As long as a woman wants to do a job and has the necessary skills and abilities to do the job, go for it. I find it rewarding when you see the finished product which is a beautiful, completed project that you had a major part in.
Starting out in the construction business, who or what empowered you?
It was very empowering when I had the opportunity to see other women (contractors and consultants) who were successful in the industry. How they were able to break through the glass ceiling in this male-dominated industry. It is also very empowering when you have people in upper management of your company that believe in your abilities and give you the opportunity to grow.
