While women represent only a fraction of the construction industry workforce, Pan-Pacific is proud to have employed a significant number of women over the last 73 years. For every 100 employees in the field, there is one trades woman. Considering that women make up 47% of all employed individuals, this means that the construction industry is employing approximately 1.25% of the total female workforce.

Despite the small numbers, women continue to build their path in the industry. With a growing number of women breaking through the gendered norms and leveling the playing field, the industry is becoming a more diverse and inclusive space for future generations. We are excited to highlight some of the women who are currently working in the field at Pan-Pacific.
