Whether you want to be a creative Shaper, a go-getter Driver, a hands-on Maker, or a powerhouse Supporter we've got the tea from over 100 women on what these jobs actually look like.

THE
SHAPERS
The creative and technical minds who shape the buildings themselves,
like designers, architects, and engineers.
THE
MAKERS
They are the builders,
the crafters, the ones bringing buildings to life, often on site. They could be tradespeople like carpenters, or working
for a builder in office-based roles.
THE
DRIVERS
They are the project managers and developers taking charge, leading
the way and often funding the projects. They are the ones who bring big visions to reality, making sure everything stays
on track.
THE
SUPPORTERS
The support squad running construction businesses - from HR, legal, operations
and finance - these are the team players who keep everything running like a well-oiled machine behind the scenes.
