I have worn many hats over my career. I have been a…
• Project Engineer
• Assistant Superintendent
• Superintendent
• Project Manager
• Business Development Manager
For general contractors and subcontractors.
Exploring these different roles has given me a wider perspective on our industry.
And it has taught me I am as limited as I allow myself to be. If there is a role I want to pursue, then all I have to do if find the right fit to practice those skills.
If you could have any role in construction, what do you want it to be?

Meet Claire, this school year’s @bwic.vt Vice President!
“My name is Claire Wright and I’m a junior at Virginia Tech in Myers-Lawson majoring in Construction Engineering and Management as well as serving as the Vice President of BWIC.

I have loved my time at MLSoC and am very excited to start my career in the industry!”

Last but far from least, I would like to introduce you Laura. She is one of the @girlsincivil board members.
