Trailblazing: Celebrating the Success of Our All-Female Office in St. John's

At rcs construction, we take immense pride in the talented team running our St. John’s, Newfoundland office. This dynamic, all-female team, led by seasoned project managers with engineering backgrounds, has been instrumental in driving our projects to success.

Valerie Penney, a key leader in our St. John’s office, epitomizes the dedication and expertise of our team. With 19 years in the construction industry, Valerie’s journey from an estimator to a project manager showcases her versatility and commitment. Since joining rcs in 2017, she has seamlessly integrated into our culture, demonstrating an exceptional ability to manage projects efficiently while maintaining strong client and supplier relationships.

Valerie’s involvement extends beyond rcs, as she actively contributes to the Newfoundland & Labrador Construction Association (NLCA). Currently serving as the Second Vice-Chair of the NLCA Executive, she is set to make her mark as the third female Chair of the NLCA board in the near future. Her leadership in organizing the Women in Construction Forum has provided a vital platform for professional development and networking within the industry.

Our St. John’s team’s contributions reflect their passion and dedication. They are not only excelling in project management but also playing a pivotal role in promoting the construction industry to the next generation. Valerie, along with other NLCA board members, is developing strategies to engage high school and university students, fostering interest and support for women in construction.

The commitment of our St. John’s office to excellence and community involvement exemplifies the core values of rcs construction. We are proud of their achievements and look forward to their continued success in shaping the future of construction in Newfoundland and Labrador.

In this Summer edition snapshot, we celebrate the remarkable women of our St. John’s office, their professional achievements, and their unwavering dedication to advancing the construction industry.
