Brittany Festa Project Engineer | Regency Construction Services
How many years have you worked in the industry? | 4 |
What was your first job in construction and how did it shape your career path? | I’ve been a project engineer from the start, and every day is a learning experience. Coordinating teams, keeping schedules on track, and solving problems as they come up has shown me how much I enjoy being at the center of making a project run smoothly. |
What is a misconception that you think people still have about women in construction? | A misconception I see is that women can’t handle the fast-paced, problem-solving side of construction. In reality, we’re making decisions, coordinating teams, and keeping projects moving every day. |
What strengths do you think women bring to the construction industry? | Women in construction bring practical problem-solving, clear communication, and an eye for details that make a real difference on projects. As a project engineer, I rely on these skills every day to coordinate teams, catch issues before they become problems, and keep projects running smoothly. |
What advice would you give other women that are considering or new to the construction industry? | Don’t be afraid to dive in and ask questions. The more you learn and get involved, the more you see how much you can make a project succeed. |
What do you like to do when you're not on the job? | When I’m not on the job, I love couponing. I enjoy finding deals and saving money. It’s kind of like a little puzzle and challenge for me! |
