Groundbreakers (Site Women)

Amidst the conundrum of machinery and the growing skyline of construction sites, three young women share the space with experts and veterans of site construction professionals. A job dominated by tough working conditions. But our women are determined to carve out a space for themselves. The decision to work on-site was not just about a career, it was about experiencing engineering in its basic form. One found excitement in watching concepts come to life, another tried to understand the essence of construction, and the third carried forward a dream her father once held. Different reasons, yet the same resolve, to absorb themselves in the process, to learn, and to challenge expectations.

Each day on-site brings a new set of learnings and discoveries. Watching calculations take physical form, coordinating with skilled professionals, and navigating the fast-paced demands of construction, it is a space that requires agile thinking and adaptability. Where teamwork and problem-solving are just as critical as technical expertise. Beyond the blueprints and structures, they are gaining the confidence to lead, inching towards making decisions.

They stand a testament to the fact that engineering is not defined by gender. They prove this every day, gradually shifting mindsets and reinforcing that construction sites are for those who have the drive, regardless of who they are.

As they feel accepted, cheered and supported by the colleagues around them, they inspire a whole generation of women to go beyond their comfort zone. No big talk, no prized pictures, just their one step forward every day.
