7 Influential Women in Construction
Here are 7 powerful women in construction who you really should know about.
From architects and electricians, to civil and structural engineers, there are many exciting jobs within the construction
sector. However, while the industry employs around 3 million people in the UK, hardly any of these roles are occupied by
women. In fact, only 13% of the UK's construction workers are female and, on average, they are paid 12% less than male
employees carrying out the same role.
The ability to reach gender parity within the construction sector lies partly with the women who have already made a
name for themselves in the industry. By sharing their success stories, they are encouraging others to look at engineering
and architecture as trades for women.

Architect & Founding Partner of Diller Scofidio + Renfro
Diller designed The Broad Art Museum in LA, which faces Walt Disney Concert Hall. “Compared to Disney Hall's smooth and shiny exterior,
which reflects light, The Broad is porous and absorptive, channelling light into the public spaces and galleries,” she said. Another of Diller’s
masterpieces is one of New York’s most outstanding features – The High Line, an iconic elevated park high above the hustle and bustle of the
city below.
Roma Agrawal gained her BA in Physics from the University of Oxford, and her MSc in
Structural Engineering from Imperial College London. She spent 6 of her 10 years at
WSP Global as a senior structural engineer on The Shard, the tallest tower in Western
Europe. She designed the foundations and the “spire” of the building. The Shard was
opened to the public in February 2013 and Agrawal was the only woman featured in
Channel 4's The Tallest Tower documentary about the building. Her work earned
Agrawal the Diamond Award for Engineering Excellence from the Association for
Consultancy and Engineering in 2014.
3 years later, Agrawal won The Rooke Award for the public promotion of engineering.
This is one of the Royal Academy of Engineering's most prestigious gongs. Agrawal is
also the author of Built: The Hidden Stories Behind Our Structures, which was reviewed
well by critics. She has appeared frequently in the media. This includes BBC World
News, The Evening Standard, Guardian, BBC Daily Politics, TEDx, The Telegraph,
Independent, Cosmopolitan and Stylist Magazines, documentaries and online blogs.
She was also featured in M&S’s ‘Leading Ladies’ 2014 campaign and described as a
‘Top Tweeter’ by the Guardian. This year she was awarded an MBE.

Kelly Vincent left school at 18 and “fell into” an administrative role for the NHS, where she
worked for 10 years. Fascinated by her father’s job as a Building Contractor and wanting
to do something practical, Vincent decided to look for potential job opportunities in the
construction industry. Vincent gained her City & Guilds electrical qualifications, trained
alongside senior electricians at a company near where she lived and quickly thereafter
set up her own business, Kelly Electrics.

& Founder of Kelly Electrics
Vincent is proof that it’s never too late to challenge yourself. As a female electrician, she
has been recognized for her contribution to the sector. In 2014, Vincent was a finalist at
both the Women in Construction Awards and Britain’s Top Trades person Awards, held at
Wembley Stadium. She continues to inspire other women to enter the sector by

Roni Savage
Environmental Engineer & M.D of Jomas Associates
Inspired by a school trip to Africa, Claire Gott co-founded the independent charity
Cameroon Catalyst while studying for her MEng in Engineering and Architecture at the
University of Southampton. Her charity focuses on international development through
community-led infrastructure projects. So far, Cameroon Catalyst has been able to build
a medical centre, a carpentry and mechanical skills workshop, a primary school, an
electricity hub and new housing.
In addition to running her charity, Gott has managed multi-disciplinary design teams
and worked on a number of high-profile projects including High Speed 2 at Euston
Station and the £790m London Bridge Station redevelopment. She is on the Green
Construction Board, which promotes low carbon, low cost approaches to construction,
and also represents young people in the industry through her position on the Institution
of Civil Engineers (ICE) council. In 2015, Gott was awarded an MBE for her services to
civil engineering and international charity work.

In recent years, Barbara Res has become known in the public eye for speaking out
against Donald Trump, opposing him in the run-up to the 2016 US election. Branding
herself as “The Woman Who Built Trump Tower”, Res has shared her experience of
working for Trump and her thoughts about women in construction within her memoir: All
Alone on the 68th Floor: How One Woman Changed the Face of Construction.
Res began her career in construction by studying Electrical Engineering at The City
College of New York and she now has over 40 years of experience working in
development and construction across the United States. In September 1980, she
became the first woman to oversee a major New York construction site when Trump
appointed her as Senior Vice President in charge of the renowned Trump Tower.
Speaking publicly about how Trump changed with power, she has been quoted
frequently about his mistreatment of women after working closely with him for so many
years.
