2023 Women in Construction: Stephanie Rochford-Garcia, Methuen Construction Company, Inc.

What was your greatest professional achievement or most notable project in the last 12 months? Over the last 12 months, I have recruited over 70 new teammates to our organization. Attracting and retaining top talent is key in this industry; great teammates = great project results! I truly love what I do, and the men and women that I help hire make every tough day worth it.

What tips or advice would you offer to other women who are considering entering the AEC industry? Don’t hesitate! This industry is unlike any other. Every day is a new adventure, and you’ll never see the same thing two days in a row. Being able to see a project constructed from deep in the ground all the way up through completion never gets old, and working with those who do the actual constructing is truly rewarding.
