Flexible Work, Career Growth, and Supportive Culture at Nigro Construction

LAS VEGAS – The construction industry is undergoing significant changes, with women now playing a key role in its transformation. Although they remain underrepresented, women are making strides by taking leadership positions, leading innovation, and rethinking the traditional construction career path. Companies like Nigro Construction are at the forefront of this change, working actively to create a welcoming environment, break down barriers, and provide women with opportunities to build long-term careers in construction.

Women in Construction Week (March 3-9, 2025) celebrates the contributions of women to the industry, while acknowledging the work still required to ensure their success. This year’s theme, “Together We Rise,” highlights the strength, knowledge, and solidarity of women who are crucial to the continued evolution of the construction field. Nigro Construction continues to celebrate women in construction and is committed to offering support, growth opportunities, and a positive work environment for all employees.

Recognizing Women at Nigro Construction

On March 4, 2025, Nigro Construction hosted a special lunch to celebrate its female employees. Women in roles such as finance, project management, engineering, marketing, and more have become essential members of the company, driving forward its mission and success. Their contributions help propel projects, strengthen company culture, and inspire future generations of women entering the construction industry.

Heather Cassel, Senior Staff Accountant at Nigro Construction, shared her perspective: “One of the biggest misconceptions about construction is that it’s only about fieldwork. In reality, there are so many different career paths, from accounting to project management to engineering. At Nigro, leadership truly invests in employees, making it a place where you can grow your career while also feeling supported in your personal life. Our leaders understand that employees have lives outside of work, and that kind of culture is what keeps people here long-term.”

Promoting Career Development and Growth

Nigro Construction’s dedication to its employees goes beyond just offering a paycheck. The company strives to provide career development opportunities, leadership training, mentorship, and the resources necessary for success. Flexible work options, a focus on work-life balance, and a supportive company culture are all elements that make construction a rewarding career choice for women.

Cory Frank, Vice President of Business Development and Project Management at Nigro Construction, emphasized the company's commitment: “We hire based on skill, experience, and the ability to get the job done, because talent drives success. Over the years, we’ve seen more women step into leadership roles, project management, and key positions across the company, which only strengthens our team. Construction thrives when we create an environment where everyone has access to opportunities for growth and advancement.”

With more women stepping into leadership roles and critical positions, the landscape of the construction industry is evolving into a more inclusive and diverse space.
