It’s Women in Construction Week! 🔨👷♀️ Shannon Sera transitioned into construction from a completely different industry, looking for a career that would challenge her and give her skills no one could take away. Choosing ironwork, Shannon faced a steep learning curve but grew tremendously - overcoming obstacles, mastering her trade, and building confidence every step of the way. Like anyone in a demanding industry, Shannon faced challenges early in her career, but instead of focusing on difficulties, she doubled down on competency and execution. She quickly learned that in construction, respect is earned through skill and results—not identity. By mastering her craft, Shannon proved that technical expertise is the great equalizer. Now, as a project engineer, she bridges the gap between planning and execution, using her hands-on experience to bring real value to her team. Her proudest accomplishment was making the transition from the field into project engineering, applying her firsthand knowledge to complex problem-solving at a higher level. Her advice to anyone entering construction: “Focus on proficiency, execution, and excellence. Master your role, put in the work, and let your results speak for themselves.” From ironwork to project engineering, her journey proves that growth comes from stepping up to challenges and continuously honing your craft. Here’s to all the women pushing boundaries in construction! 👏 #WICWeek #WomenInConstruction #HarderMechanical

It’s Women in Construction Week! 🔨👷♀️ For Abarna K., VDC Project Manager, construction wasn’t always on her radar. But when she saw the technology shaping the industry, she knew she wanted in. Now, with over a decade of experience in Virtual Design and Construction, Abarna has made a huge impact, bringing expertise and innovation to every team she works with. She also leads beyond Harder as the Phoenix Regional Lead for Women in BIM, helping drive industry-wide progress. But her passion goes beyond projects—she’s dedicated to empowering others through training. “I’ve been on a mission to make people feel comfortable using different BIM/VDC tools. Even after leaving teams, my ex-colleagues still use my training content.” Like many women in construction, being underestimated has been a constant challenge. But instead of letting that hold her back, she’s changed the conversation. “Taking part in various conversations without tooting my own horn has been how I get around it. The responses start with wide eyes, eventually to then turn into wonderful informative conversations and even cheerleading from my colleagues.” Her advice to other women looking to advance in the industry is to find mentors and sponsors who will lift you up, advocate for you at the table, and help open doors for your growth. Abarna’s journey shows that with passion, perseverance, and support, women in construction can break barriers and pave the way for future generations. She’s not just building projects—she’s shaping the future of the industry. #WICWeek #WomenInConstruction #HarderMechanical
