HOUSTON, March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — PermitUsNow, the leader in the construction industry that is transforming building permitting nationwide celebrates Women in Construction Week to highlight the contributions that women make in construction and career opportunities for women. The National Association of Women in Construction started this special recognition in 1998 and thousands of companies participate in recognizing women working in design and construction during this week.
Here’s what Helen Callier, Founder and CEO says about commemorating Women in Construction Week, “this is an exciting time to be in design and construction. There are a lot of career opportunities for women to pursue such as Project Manager, Construction Scheduler, Safety, architecture to building permit expeditor. I encourage women of all ages to consider using their talents in an exciting field.”
The US Construction Market is approximately $1.6 trillion per year which presents vast career opportunities for women to enter this industry and play key roles from Project Engineer to Superintendent to architect or to starting a contracting company. This is especially true as the design and specifically the construction industry continues to grapple with a shortage of labor.
“This is PermitUsNow’s 5th year celebrating Women in Construction Week and we are grateful that our leader, Helen Callier, with over 30 years in the construction industry is a role model for young women to aspire and follow.” Moruf Jimoh, AAIA, Technical Manager of PermitUsNow stated.
PermitUsNow is sharing stories on Linkedin of other women in construction during the Women in Construction Week.
